Just gotta wait for the CPC leadership review. They haven't been kind to leaders who failed to beat Liberals yet.

Wonder how they'll be this time.

When did npd abondon workers?

When they stopped acting and speaking like them. It's not an issue of policy, but ones of community, identity, and trust.

The NDP is really bad at showing different parts of the electorate the side that speaks to them. Rural blue collar folks keep seeing talking points about urban student issues, people struggling with mortgage payments keep hearing talk about landlords. They keep talking about spending money on "everybody else", and give working class people the feeling that they are the ones who will have to pay for it, even now as they feel more squeezed than ever.

Plus, everyone looks so damn prim and proper and lawyery.

The conservatives at least speak to their frustrations and anger. They offer a conduit for it, and a sense of catharsis, even if they have no interest in solving the problem. The conservatives feel better to side with. They don't just tell them that they are right to feel angry, they make them feel safe to feel angry.

The NDP doesn't do that. The NDP makes them feel judged for feeling angry, even while the party tells them that their anger makes sense.

And so they feel unseen, and abandoned.

There is no reason to even suggest that AI 'means well'. It doesn't mean anything, let alone well.

Carney is more like Trump than any other politician we’ve ever had.

The successful PhD economist with the public personality of year old Melba toast vs the textbook cult of personality leader.

Make it make sense.

Zelenskyy coming to Alberta has real potential to maake the rest of Canada totally fed up with and disgusted by Alberta.

This could be fun.

The game prices I'm ok with. When I was a kid, video games cost $70 CAD, and that's almost $200 now. I'm perfectly OK with going back to buying fewer games. I have too many of them I shouldn't have bought in the first place.

I'm wildly upset with the console price, in no small part because Nintendo and other electronics manufacturers seem to be trying to smooth over the shock of Dorito Don's tariffs by increasing prices globally.

The Americans made their own bed. I'm not willing to lie in it with them.

It remains so incredibly alarming to me the number of "business leaders" who looked at consumer spending in 2020/2021, looked at the global context of 2020/2021, and then went "things will now be like this forevermore," even as other "business leaders", and even, very often, themselves, were doing everything possible to force everyone back into a pre-COVID context.

My own employer was one of these businesses, and every time I've brought it up, I've been firmly told "everyone else thought the same thing we did, too".

I didn't have a whole lot of respect for business people before that, but I at least -- naively, it turned out -- believed they knew how to operate businesses. I now have no respect for such people whatsoever, as they've demonstrated completely and thoroughly, even to the point where my dumb ass can notice, that the only thing that ever "qualified" them to "run a business" was having money.

The fact that tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs because the ownership class chose to believe that they'd stumbled into an infinite growth hack is shameful, and these "leaders" deserve to be stripped of all that they own and tossed into the street.

Yup. The author is juuuuust missed in identifying the issue. The alt-right doesn't take gaming, or gamers, seriously. But they do see angry young men as recruitment targets, and understand that a lot of gamers are much, much bigger losers than most of us imagine, and that they have a lot of pent up anger at not being taken seriously.

The basement dwelling CHUDs don't realize that Bannon's brigade is laughing at them whenever they're not in the room. They're just that desperate for any kind of attention and validation, even if it's painfully disingenuous.

Fiscal conservatives are never and have never been "fiscally conservative". Rather than being conscious of and considerate about how they spend our communal resources, they have always just believed that there should be no communal resources, and the rich should get to run roughshod over us all.

Trump, and many of his supporters, think that America is China's biggest client. They're totally blind to the idea that China is China's biggest client, and that it's not even close.

Their total lack of understanding of the world outside their little exceptionalist bubble is hilarious and depressing

Let's throw a wrench into things: Dual Member Proportional, a system that doesn't send people who haven't directly stood for election to Ottawa.

Then leave. You've contributed nothing but vitriol, and without explanation. You seem to have no gripe, yet desperately want to gripe. Why don't you do that somewhere you find more entertaining?

Like under a bridge, or something.
