AlexRogansBeta,

I think you might be missing the point of what I am saying. I'm not suggesting that "further left" is what we need. The right-left dichotomy is just two sides of the same thing, and it's that thing that is fundamentally broken. Moving right or left does nothing to change anything. I don't think we need to move left. I think we need to throw out the whole thing. It isn't the conservatives that are the source of these bad things you're naming (white-supremacy, neofacismz intolerance, and hate). That stuffs baked into the whole colonial liberal capitalist "democracy" we have inherited. Any party that supports the continuation of that system is white supremacist, racist, fascist, etc. Our whole economic and political system IS those things. Not any single party. Some just own up to it better (like the conservatives). But liberals and the NDP, too, fundamentally support our democratic and economic systems. But those systems are foundationally to be blamed. We can't tweak them to be better. We can't fix the foundationally exploitative nature of capitalism. It's a feature, not a bug. And we can't tweak the Westminster style of parliamentary government to be less racists or discriminatory. That's in-built. It's what indigenous groups have been saying for decades (centuries?).

Back to my original point, lots of voices in here saying don't support the conservatives. And, I mean, I agree. They suck. But they all suck. They all wanna perpetuate the nonsense. Sure, some wanna perpetuate it in "nicer" or "more inclusive" ways. But no one actually wants to CHANGE anything. They just wanna tweak and adjust and manage the foundational problems of our systems. So, conservative or not, they're all perpetuating hate and discrimination and poverty and authoritarianism. My point wasn't "don't vote NDP" or "vote conservative". My point was anyone who actually wants change doesn't have a voice. There is no party advocating for change.
