I fully understand Canadian politics, but whatever hot take “strategic voting” opinion you have is meaningless if the ridings are polarized. There is a reason the NDP is dropping to the brink of non-party status. They aren’t going to be an option for anyone’s “strategic vote”. That works occasionally but this is not one of those years. For the vast majority of the country, it’ll be red, blue, or a wasted ballot, even in traditional NDP or Green ridings.
And you’re basing this on “I have a feeling” because there is not any hard data on this and I’m going to assume you aren’t psychic. And if you try to say polls to me when they’ve been comically wrong and biased in every election in Canada since, like, 2000, I’m just going to assume you are a moron and not worth talking to further.
Either way you slice it, throwing a vote at the NDP or Greens and staying home to file your nails is about the same thing. Your vote could help the NDP to… lose official party status, or if your heroic strategy fails the CPC will have a pointless number of seats anyway because they are about to be obliterated by the Liberal Party. I know I know, it’s exhausting that your point has to be re-explained yet again, right?
Also, speaking of embarrassing, saying that polls are not to be trusted while also saying that you should vote for a third party because the polls say they might win in your riding is a hilarious bit of cognitive dissonance. Thank you for brightening a drab Monday morning with that.
Okay so you don’t understand what I was saying or how this whole thing works. This is absolutely exhausting.

No, I did not say the polls, I said that they get 1% of the vote here every election. Reading comprehension isn’t your thing, is it?
Comprehending why you’re still replying to this thread isn’t my thing either
