BC was a decision between a center-left candidate (who was doing some stupid election shenanigans) and a center-center candidate (who is by all reports the most boring politician they could find) in a province in Canada.
This is not any way comparable to a country of over 200M people potentially falling to fascism.
To feel like it’s relevant in a thread about an election in another country, yes, it should be comparable.
You should probably work on your empathy a little more if over 200 million people facing fascism gives you the same feelings as a province electing a boring centrist.
Dehumanizing people by just thinking of everyone as categories and not as individuals is what lays the groundwork for fascism. Isn’t that what you’re doing right now?
I’m not saying it is always intentional. But the very ideals they believe in will do that eventually it has nothing to do with intent and everything to do with the mechanics of neoliberalism.
Conservative describes a set of beliefs and beliefs can be faulty.
The Tories are still going to fuck up treaty negotiations, wreck sex education, push old growth logging, and sell off our health system. They’ll probably also repeal the single-family home zoning ban.
Much needed after BC.

Do they need to be comparable for me to feel a certain way about their respective outcomes? Both matter to me.

Boring centrists, especially conservative ones, lay the groundwork for fascists by eroding the public sector and services.

Thank you, I am working on it right now.

Going to be a rough FO cycle.
The BC event really made me sad. :/
