That's a nice thought on a spectacularly shit day. I hope Alt me is still BBQing with my neighbours like it's 2016.

"Sure we're all fucked, but at least by not voting I defended the white man's natural right to rule! We were never gonna vote for an uppity black woman who's better than the alternative by every conceivable measure, and the Democratic party failed us for not acknowledging that. If we ever get elections again, maybe they'll have learned their lesson!" - non-voting racist sexist "democrats" in the USA

If you do pop up north, be ready for a battle here too.

Long read, but excellent info. tl;dr - The IDU and the Manning Centre (now called the "Strong and Free Network" run the right up here.

completely alienating [non-voters] now will not help the cause

So we just keep being nice to the braindead traitors who can't be arsed to get up off the couch and vote so we all don't live in Nazi World? Because they just haven't heard the right argument yet, or they just need a wee bit more cajoling, maybe a cookie next time.

idc if it's existential malaise over the world burning up, or just that they get enough civic participation from their social media Feed. idc about their endless reasons for not showing up (I've heard them all up here in Ontario where less than 1/2 the eligible voters turned up, and they're all nonsense about how it's someone else's fault. They feel no shame about it: they've been thoroughly convinced that they're too good/smart to vote).

You keep on with not alienating the braindead lumps. You'll find them endlessly commentating online, blaming The Woman for Doing It Wrong. Because Kamala didn't personally bring them tendies they decided their country should be governed AGAIN by a White Supremacist Rapist Incontinent Felon who's owned by frothy fundies who want to burn the witch.

Every abstaining vote was a vote for Trump. They just wanted to be able to say Wasn't Me.

People are saying the wound-up violent douchecanoe was reportedly overheard saying, "Lineup?! NO! ME first! FIRST!"

Unless the voters are dumb enough

Over 1/2 the eligible voters in Ontario couldn't even be arsed to show up to the last election. We're so, SO dumb.

That, and they know none of them will see effective penalties for voter intimidation and coercion. Maybe a fine. Maybe a year in jail. Maybe both.

In a just world, these donors would get a year for every employee who took the survey. Just to serve as a deterrent to other multi-millionaire bosses. More likely they'll weasel out of anything but lawyers fees and a statement on their website.

jfc... racist humour is always so stupid and lazy.

Hinchcliffe also referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean” and made a remark about Black people who “carved watermelons” instead of pumpkins for Halloween.

A politician having trash like this warm the crowd for them should be shocking.

She says Jan 6 was about "love" directly in the face of a woman whose life she previously threatened on that day. But she has to say it, because that's what the cult told her last.

"Nothing done wrong at all," Trump said.

"There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns.

"And when I say we, these are people that walked down - this was a tiny percentage of the overall which nobody sees and nobody, nobody shows. But that was a day of love."

These individuals need deprogrammers, not debate.

 

Closed work permits are part of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker program, empowering exploitative bosses across the country. This story focuses on one franchise owner, but juxtaposes one worker who was able to get an open permit with another who's stuck in his precarious situation.

 

On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.
