    If I were leading the NDP, I would be banging this drum constantly. Instead, we have the fucking Conservatives acting as the party of the working class, which is insane.

    It seems to work for Sanders in the US, but the NDP parties in Canada seem afraid to be called socialists, having been stung during the Rae era in Ontario.

      But the Cons also received money. How are they acting as the party of the working class? The NDP got us pharmacare added to healthcare while in 3rd place.

        Well, when I say “Acting” I mean “they’re making a lot of noise about it, and somehow their supporters believe them”

          Ok, got it.

          I agree, but honestly, their supporters don’t have to believe. They vote for the C even when they don’t bother to put up platform, and I mean that literally. Their supporters support the C, they don’t care what the people actually do.
