I don't understand how people can complain of "no options" or act like there are no other parties, just Coke or Pepsi. There are other parties, and even independents. Voting isn't supposed to be a popularity contest for the most slick and charismatic candidate, nor is it a game where you try to match who you think everybody else is voting for.
It just feels to me like everyone is doing what they think they're supposed to do (as if our votes are public?), instead of trusting themselves to really look at what they believe should happen and find a party that is willing (or at least more likely) to fight to have it done. π
In Alberta there's a disgustingly large amount of people who simply vote blue because that's what their dad did, and what his dad did. If you ask them WHY they hate Trudeau, you can't get a coherent answer because they don't actually know.
My dad made a comment one day about how the "ruined" economy was all Trudeau's fault. I asked what he'd done and he couldn't think of anything to say.
Hard agree.. They just spew rhetoric because they think it's what they're supposed to say.. it's like a cult.
