Insisting that if leftists all refuse to vote, the Democrats will be forced to move left and give in to all our demands is kind of like insisting that if I refuse to show up to work, my boss will be forced to give me a raise.

Like yeah, there's kind of a kernel of truth there, leftists COULD turn themselves into a voting bloc worth appealing to and strikes CAN work. But you're leaving out the massive amounts of organization, cooperation, and support that it takes, and in the meantime if I just stop showing up to work I am simply going to get fired.

looking at the nbc exit poll demographic data and it’s not surprising but still a bit soul crushing to see that Black people, queer people, and Jewish people all had votes over 75% cast for Harris but Harris still lost, because the rest of the country did not back her in the same way, and almost every white demographic voted in favor of Trump. We cannot do this shit alone.

third party voters did not lose you the election if you say it again im going to give you a basic addition and subtraction worksheet so you’ll understand that half a million votes (generous) going from third party to dem does not equal 5 million republican votes

I feel like "Voting as harm reduction" falls under the category of, "Does your leftist praxis involve doing the dishes" like yeah no, it's not ideal but it's kind of bare minimum.

tbh I honestly think american elections have just become anti-incumbent due to the successive and concurrent neoliberal crises (which is what indian elections have historically faced because of the deep socioeconomic dysfunction) and given the unwillingness of any party to do meaningful structural change it’s just gonna be one term red one term blue for a long, long time

These polls have given me such anguish (/pos) because How to Be a Dog has ALWAYS beaten the poem I vote for, up to now. What started as an “Eh, this is an okay poem and solid to where I can see why people like it” to being something that triggers some sort of primordial emotion in me. Have a good day

HAHAHA I've been in a similar predicament! I don't mind the poem at all, but it's all about timing—it's a poem that's huge on Tumblr right now for a handful of reasons, but if this was conducted a year or so from now I think it might've had a bit more trouble. Or maybe not! Possible it's got more longevity than I'm predicting

[piratekenway]

once again I stand here to beg you to please for the love of fucking god vote against the Republicans

[hyperboreanhapocanthosaurus]

putting head in hands seeing americans telling us not to split the vote in our election and im just like you have no idea what you are talking about our government doesn't. uniformly. work. like that.

i.e. its not the same 'two-party system' in every region and where i live, voting liberal basically IS the same as throwing away my vote to a "third" party :))))) voting liberal WOULD be splitting the vote and put us at risk of a conservative candidate!! if you're going to encourage canadians, the abc 'anyone but conservative' is more useful when voting strategically!!!!

YES!!!!! CANADA REJECTS FASCISM!!!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Reuters, via The Guardian:

Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister, has easily survived a vote of confidence after his main political rival failed to muster enough support to end nine years of Liberal party rule. Legislators in the House of Commons voted 211-120 to defeat a motion by the official opposition Conservative party declaring a lack of confidence in Trudeau’s minority Liberal government. Trudeau, whose popularity has slumped amid unhappiness over rising prices and a housing crisis, became more politically vulnerable this month when the smaller New Democratic party tore up a 2022 deal to keep him in power until an election scheduled for end-October 2025. “Today was a good day for the country because I don’t think Canadians want an election,” said Karina Gould, the senior Liberal in charge of government business in the House. Despite surviving the vote, other challenges loom for Trudeau. Earlier in the day, the leader of the separatist Bloc Québécois said he would work to bring down the government unless it quickly agreed to the Bloc’s demands.

Trudeau’s Liberals will soon face a second vote on one of its budget measures, which is also a matter of confidence, but are expected to also survive that. Officials said the vote could take place on Wednesday or Thursday. “We are going to work piece of legislation by piece of legislation, issue by issue, negotiating with the different political parties,” Gould told reporters. The right-of-center Conservatives have a big lead in the opinion polls ahead of an election that must be called by the end of October 2025. The Conservatives say they want an election as soon as possible on the grounds that Canadians cannot afford a planned increase in the federal carbon tax. They also say federal spending and crime have ballooned under the Liberals.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau (LPC/PLC) survives a no-confidence motion in the Parliament in Ottawa, but he and his party are bracing for a heavy defeat in the next election at a time before October 2025’s conclusion to the point that the battle for the Official Opposition status could be a heavy lift for them as well.
