    A human position on Palestine wasn’t on the ballot. We have to take that to the streets, to BDS and any other avenue. That’s true voting or not.

    What was on the ballot is women’s rights, lgbt+ rights and many more things we take for granted that the Cons try to take away.

    You can’t vote for a change in economic systems.

        And PP would have done better? Please. Fuck off with this shit.

        You vote because there are vulnerable people who have their rights removed or WORSE under conservative and fascist leadership. You vote in solidarity with them.

        Voting doesn’t mean you support someone or believe in them. It’s a 1 hour activity you do because you have a duty to those directly harmed by fascism.

        For those directly harmed by neoliberalism and settler colonialism there was never a candidate for that. That’s what the other 8765 hours in the year are for. That and surviving our late stage capitalist society. This is true whether or not you vote.

          If you’re condemning late stage capitalism by defending an LPC super majority, sorry to tell you: you have your priorities and your perceptions crosswired.
