I hate to admit it, but it makes me feel jealous of because at least there’s the NDP as an alternative to the liberals. Sure, many folks are too scared of losing their seat to the conservatives, but if Justin Trudeau wasn’t such a lying piece of shit and actually implemented STV, imagine just how much the CHUDs would get stomped. Even the Bloc Quebecois are fully invited to the CHUD dunkfest.
The NDP are funny to hold up as an example to two-party-brained types of how things play out in a country where there is actually a viable left-wing third party. For various reasons, but mainly because even in Canada liberals scream at NDP supporters to “vote strategically” (vote liberal) so they can keep the conservatives from coming into power. So the lack of a viable third party in the US doesn’t even matter. These people don’t want things to get better.
