Go ahead and laugh but you should thank us. You all were about to elect Pollivierre until we showed you what going down that road will lead to. As the US goes down in flames we can comfort ourselves that we’ve served as an example to others. We celebrate that Australia also sees the light. As you point and laugh, remember that “there but for the grace of god ability to learn from the mistakes of others go I”. I remember in the '90’s when Americans were gloating over the collapse of the Soviet Union I said, “Don’t laugh, we’re probably next.” Yes, it took longer than I expected but here we are.
I agree you guys helped stop us from electing Canada’s version of trump but I highly doubt the lesson learned will stick.
Well, maybe it wouldn’t stick if what we’ve seen so far was the worst of it, but unfortunately it’s just the beginning. The lesson will be getting much more intense soon.
Anyway best of luck to the sane Americans we will be joining you guys shortly.
Keep in mind that many of us voted for Harris, way too many of us either didn’t care enough to vote or withheld voting because Harris wasn’t ready to nuke Israel, and the rest voted for shitler.
So no, motherfucker, this isn’t what I voted for. Edit: In case I wasn’t clear: I voted for Harris.
I don’t think his comment was written to you personally, and I do think it is fair to put the blame of election results on the population as a whole. Although guess it’s fair enough to remind people the vote was"t unanimous.
those who voted blue are also kind of assholes. You guys should get real democracy going: Ranked Choice Voting. Burn the current senate, congress and Supreme court down. Build them back properly.
Man, if only that were possible. Every time anything local has tried anything to get ranked choice voting in or get rid of gerrymandering, it gets shot down, and if people tried any direct action they would really get shot down.
Though that second option seems to be more viable each day here.
It’s not that easy, the system will take a lot to change and it will take years. It only comes down to two options. Red or blue. Didn’t have much of a choice. That doesn’t make us assholes, that makes us at the very mercy of the system. Not voting or voting for the niche party means failure.
What pray tell am I in a blue state supposed to do. Our system is effectively run by 1% of the electorate too stupid to have a fixed opinion in competative states
There’s always the high agency option, though only a few Americans are willing to pursue it.
Stop paying taxes and subvert the rule of the United States and the corporations that support it. If your new faction has enough holding power, it will be impossible to dislodge you - remember that the US is awful at asymmetric tactics. ChexSystems can’t do jack against you if their power base is weakened from subversion.
Kind words and sympathy seem like the things that would have been exchanged in greater amounts but its become ironically canada first sentiments.
I personally am thankful that because of the events we didnt elect PP as consequence. But Ide much rather have better world unity right now.
None of us are united right now. Perhaps more polarized than we would have been, but we have to respond to how the world is, not how we wish it was, or how it will be after we respond, however that is.
And im sorry, Jordan Petersen is apparently your problem now. Feel free to charge him personally all the tariffs you can throw at him
A year ago, this Canadian would have felt a need to help our neighbours.
Right now, this Canadian is laughing and waving my bare ass in a southerly direction.
This is what you voted for you fucking idiots. You’re proudly burning down your own house. Best of luck you soup brained simpletons.

The vote was way too close for comfort and we had to sacrifice our left leaning party to do it.
My bet is after another term of the liberals doing fuck all to fix our problems the conservatives will get their majority next election.
I’m just shaking my head at people acting like the guy you replied to as if this country wasn’t filled with dumbfucks.
Anyway best of luck to the sane Americans we will be joining you guys shortly.

Some of us tried voting blue, you know… No need to group us all as the same.

I’m not sure how you could have helped. Positive energy? Good vibes our way?
