      This is why we need propositional representation - without a system that allows viable alternatives to the lesser evil our country isn’t really a democracy.

      Better than a Conservative hiding his MAGA hat at this point, but we do need more options. I still have a bit of hope Carney might do good, but time will tell, we gotta give him a fair shot.

      Not quite, but there has been some con action so far. Some diff between standard con are:

      • Does not deny climate change
      • Does not want to harm LGBTQ pop
      • Has read Marx and agrees with some of his analysis
      • Does not believe the free market is the best solution for every problem

      My bet is that he’s gonna go for deficit spending when shit hits the fan because unlike the standard con he understands public debt isn’t like family debt and that austerity in bad times is a bad idea. We’ll see in the fall.
