@LALegault @cjgyt @lowies @ianhecht great questions! Every province is different!

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@chris @cjgyt @lowies @ianhecht

Do you have a link for individual riding breakdowns?

[lowies@mstdn.ca]

@cjgyt @chris @LALegault @ianhecht

Ugh. What's it going to take? They're going to do this for four more years with a dang majority too

What about Tommy Douglas? (Sigh)

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @cjgyt @lowies @ianhecht at the bottom of the elections sask page “votes by party” you have to click the riding to see candidate names

@lowies @cjgyt @LALegault @ianhecht it’s a step at least

@chris @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht

I don’t get how people are this dumb, we re-lected Ford, Alberta Smith, and now Moe? Maybe we need helmets

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht I firmly believe, no matter what the location, voting is not about “dumb or smart”.

It’s hearing what you want to hear.

The party or person that taps into what most voters want to hear wins. (even if they do that through lies and outright propaganda)

It means nearly *any* issue can win (or lose) an election if the message resonates.

People have to stop falling for snake oil, it’s dumb.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht they won’t. The solution is to make the snake oil illegal or obsolete.

Things like:
public financing of campaigns vs corporate or private donations
Banning lobbyists from the halls of power
Requirements for fact based ad campaigns
Requirements for candidates to attend all candidates meetings.

@chris @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht

We’re watching a fascist take over, those things won’t get passed while these people are in power

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht I have hope for the USA yet, and in Canada, well, everything can change in elections. If I lose hope there then I will be sad. I don’t want to be sad damn it!

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@chris @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht

I’m not talking about America.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht i still have hope for us too. We have three elections now where it could have been a walk in the park for the right wing.

It wasn’t.

[lalegault@newsie.social]

@chris @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht

I think it’s 50/50 Canada at this points ends up with a PM run by the Indian government.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@LALegault @lowies @cjgyt @ianhecht I would have said Russian government but… potato/potato?

Gnight!
