I think “stomping down” is the wrong phrase to use. Regardless, I have a couple in my family… Asking them “how do I change your mind” or “what would need to happen for you to even consider the other side” has shown me some people can’t be helped.
I wanted to vote NDP but I felt I had to vote Liberal to negate their PP vote. My riding is liberal this time and I’m super happy.
what would change your mind and have you vote conservative
The cons would have to ditch their main tenets: bootstraps, mercenary healthcare, hating teh geys, hating the ‘ethnics’(my drunkard uncle’s words) … so, yeah: hate. They’d have to ditch hate and smarmy elitism.
My main points are free health care, dont ruin the earth, and minimum wage should be able to afford a life if they work 40 hours a week.
I don’t care the title or label of the party. Show me the person running who is kind, well spoken, and wants these three things and I’ll vote for them.
Yes. This is sadly the case.
Nothing else will work. You have to yell at them and harass them. Call them stupid children. Stop doing any form of business with them.
For fucks sake, if they are family members cut them out of your life and tell them exactly why you are doing it.
This is the only way you could possibly reform them.
That some primo Trump speech right there my guy. How about we don’t stop of anyone and recognize bad social conditions lead people to make bad choices?
Or you can just enjoy your time being the oppressor I guess.
I’m also curious how I would “stomp down” my family member to not love everything trump does. We’re both Canadian and they haven’t been to the us in my life time…
To me, there’s no talking to the extreme of either side. If a logical and factual conversation can’t change someone’s mind then I don’t know what will.
Because 4 year olds with cancer are being sent to concentration camps in the US. If you can politely talk to your family members and reason with them, this is always ideal. I get that it’s easy to be sucked down the alt-right pipeline. But if they’re literal nazis, far beyond reasoning with, I’m sorry. And if that hurts your feelings, you’re a nazi sympathizer.
Yea. Fuckers are saying “stomp them down seems harsh”, “maybe he doesn’t mean that”.
STOMP THEM DOWN. Crush the movement like they are roaches.
These people ARE NOT HUMAN! They think like aliens. They cheer as people are unconstitutionally dragged away to concentration camps … it is a one way trip.
Destroy the Canadian “MAGA” movement now, or get prepped to literally fight them in the streets like the US is doing.
Yes, people are physically stopping ICE.
The Oranges are in a position to push for RCV (simpler, same seats) and continue the push for dental and vision care. Hell, I’ll wear Government Specs .
Your comment is exactly why electoral reform can’t happen now. When all of the people pushing for changes in the elections really just want to make it so their party will win (or some other party will lose), it’s obvious to everyone the push for electoral reform isn’t being done in good faith, so it’s not all that different from vote rigging.
It’s possible that the CPC might split and if that were to happen, then there might be a broad support for electoral reform. Unless that happens, it’s just a bunch of lefties trying to rig the system so the Conservatives can’t win.
And trust me I’m no Conservative, I can just understand what electoral reform sounds like to anyone outside of the lefty bubble.
Also proportional representation is just straight up a bad system. It only looks good from the perspective of a spreadsheet, it’s terrible when you consider power dynamics. But that shitty system is constantly sucking up all of the attention so people pushing for electoral reform are pushing for a system most people don’t want. Stop trying to make proportional representation happen in Canada, it’s not going to happen.
As someone watching from the US (and who has looked at possibly immigrating emigrating there) that’s what I noticed too. It seemed like the split wasn’t too far from Trump’s current approval rating. Luckily Canada doesn’t have to deal with the disaster that is the electoral college. This result however does make me really concerned about Canada’s next big election.
My hope is that the CPC* splits and/or reforms into a more moderate and respectable party, so that at least it won’t be fucking armageddon in the event that they win a future election. But if I know conservatives worldwide, they won’t learn shit.
Look at how close it was. Canada may want to start stomping down the Trump wannabes now or they will be where the US is in about 10 years (or sooner).

Well, what would change your mind and have you vote conservative?
Having the conservatives stop trying to harm and kill people would be a start.
But that’s the point. Conservatism is the opposite of progress.

The ones that can’t be reasoned with; They have to be stomped down. We tried to be nice to the maggots, but it didn’t work.

I’m curious why you’re being down voted so hard.

Be careful, dehumanizing your opposition is Nazi shit. I agree they must be stopped but surely some percentage can be deprogrammed.
It’s sad to see how many times I’ve seen dehumanising being up voted recently.
Human rights apply even to the worst criminals.
While this is true, I don’t think advocating of “punching fascists” is on a policy level, but rather an individual one.
Why would ask a trans individual to respect the “human rights” of someone that doesn’t even see them as human?
What’s the unpunched fascist versus punched fascist to normal person conversion rate?
I wish I could tell you, but I failed all my fascism math courses.
Didn’t most we all
Irrelevant. It’s not about changing their mind. It’s about making them afraid to spread their bullshit.
Ohhh
Bro/gurll why has nobody ever explained that on here, OK OK I’m the last one to know nvm haha
Thank you!
No. I said what I said. These people are pure evil. They are the new Nazi party.
An electoral reform wouldn’t hurt.
The Oranges are in a position to push for RCV (simpler, same seats) and continue the push for dental and vision care. Hell, I’ll wear Government Specs .
IMHO, a minority-red gov is a best-case for us.
