one problem with political science is that you can’t rerun the same candidate to test them against a bunch of a different opponents of varying ideologies, except for Peru, where you can

@shriverist Me when I was 15.

@TheChaosWeeber @Prominent_Bryan I'd say it's both: Carney's distinguishing himself as a centre-right PM so Avi sees an opening on the socialist left.

Why our politics have gotten stupider since the 1990s.

To be "into politics" back then you basically needed to engage with serious journalism or books from major publishers.

That world is gone. Now, no matter how stupid you are, there is content that carters to you.

@RealAlbanianPat Sounds like you want to setup something similar to Elects. Best of luck to you bud!

@PresidentRobYT @CDNprojections The collapse of the Coalition mostly but also some discontent about the Labor government.

@politics_w_sami I did trust them. Denying reality won't change the numbers.

@solonflnmore @paddington1118 @alt_ccc Without causing a huge political debate I'm currently too high to care to engage in, it's because I'm not a right-winger. I'm centre-left and the Fujimoris are VERY far to the right.

@callmebackhome I must have bloomed early because I had such thoughts as early as 7-8.

[Liam Meade 🇨🇦🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚘️ @ThatPoliGeek]

@paddington1118 @alt_ccc I suspect you're right but one can still hope

@TambovGlasser @eurocompel I feel the same way. I'm autistic as well and would absolutely be cured of it if I could.

[Liam Meade 🇨🇦🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚘️ @ThatPoliGeek]

@eurocompel Believe it or not, there ARE people that would argue it is. They're idiots but they exist.

@Tori_TLCR @ijimaia You won't find me opposing equal wages, job programs or even social welfare. At the same time, abortion is a lovely form of quality and population control that can nip defectives in the bud before they are born and become persons with rights.

Real original, bud.

@Tori_TLCR @ijimaia Good luck to you because if you think I'm a conservative then actual conservatives will give you a fuckin aneurysm.

[Liam Meade 🇨🇦🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚘️ @ThatPoliGeek]

@Tori_TLCR @a_darkcorner @ijimaia When the NDP returns to parliament in 2029 we will (hopefully) hold the balance of power and force Carney to do exactly that. Maybe push for PR or IRV too.
