Down voting me doesn't make FPTP not real

[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

No, but being wrong makes you wrong.

There is a world where the NDP is a viable candidate, and Layton proved that.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely there is, and I would have loved to have voted for a competent NDP candidate in my riding if they had any prayer of winning either my riding or doing anything meaningful at all on a federal level.

I'm still not wrong though.

You wishing the NDP could have run and won in any significant numbers and without risking a PP victory doesn't make it so, and people voting NDP just because they like NDP policy wouldn't have changed that

Why only the past?

I love how you made this comment within minutes of someone else giving you a single downvote. You are wrong because you misunderstand how power in this system works and how people who aren't in positions of power must navigate the politics of this system to their benefit, not because people think that FPTP isn't a real thing or a factor in elections here.

I'm still not wrong. For most people in Canada Voting NDP in the last election would effectively have amounted to a pro Tory vote in the majority of ridings
