Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don't complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.

If the Liberals lose the next election, it won't be because of Pierre, it'll be despite Pierre. Like his idol Trump, Bitcoin Millhouse could shoot someone in the face on Sussex road and Conservatives would still vote for him. Liberal voters keep their party in check and will only vote when they do enough good things.

Because liberals are better humans than conservatives?

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not sure I'd go that far, but I'd say Liberals supporters are less sheep-like than Conservative supporters, generally speaking of course.

Funny, because I honestly see no difference, they just sheep on different things, same goes for avid NDP supporters.

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are always sheep, regardless of views. My belief is that Conservatives have 'better' sheep because they rarely ever vote against their own party (even when damaging information comes to light) whereas LPC/NDP share a voter base and often cannibalize each others support.

That's fair.
