    Our Conservatives make the democrats in the US look right wing.

    Dumb shit can’t understand that sharing a name doesn’t make them the same.

      Seriously Bernie Sanders could sit down and have positive dialogue with our conservatives. Americans have no idea how much the Overton Window has been at work there.

      And also the large reason the Cons were polling so far in the lead is because of Trudeau fatigue.

      Now that he’s gone things have balanced out again.

      To be fair, that’s because the US Democrats would be right wing nearly everywhere else on the world. There has been a shit ton of propaganda infrastructure built over the last 60+ years to shift the US spectrum so dramatically to the point a third of the country supports overt fascism while claiming it’s the opposite.

      I don’t think PP is very moderate. But who knows. All he does is pal around with fascist lowlifes, make lame attack ads and parrot MAGA bigotry. He doesn’t actually propose anything positive.

      make the democrats in the US look right wing.

      No, they do that all by themselves.
