  • Not voting doesn’t signal that people are happy either way, it could as easily signal that people are sad either way.

    Being “sad either way” is equally stupid. Feel free to argue that both options are bad but anyone with two braincells should be able to understand that one option is worse. Choosing to abstain is choosing to enable the worse option. Vote independent if you want, but fucking vote.

  • One in three Americans voted for Trump

    Or in more effective terms, only one third of Americans voted against Trump. Counting votes against eligible voters instead of votes cast isn’t the win you think it is.

    No one here needs a reminder that 2/3 isn’t 3/3, thanks.

  • I would be an embarrassment in one of these interviews. First of all I’m not a very musical person. Secondly I have terrible memory and I don’t even remember much about pre-college life. Being a charismatic politician really requires a different type of being.

  • Those of us who didn’t vote for trump were supposed to be your brother’s and sisters, but you all are weak little traitorous bitches.

    Ahhh there it is, I was wondering what’s the source of that anger. You’re butthurt that Canadians are holding you accountable for your governments aggression towards us.

    Yeah, fuck off. We don’t owe you anything. And by the looks of it, we were right all along that you’re not really an ally.

  • If I could vote, idk. If no one can take a principled stance on what should be an extremely obvious issue, then nobody.

    See, that's the kind of thinking that makes me say that "strategic voting" should have its taboo status removed...

    Because of this one issue, you'd be washing your hands on taking a stance for all other issues that humankind face?

    If you say yes, I guess I have to respect that. Principles are principles. But well, it’s so not how I would go about this.

  • Funding might be a misleading word here. The title is technically correct, but within context.

    Government has funding for increasing internet connectivity in remote areas. Some of that funding is spent on Starlink contracts. So the ask is more like to stop considering Starlink for contracts that consume government funding.

  • can absolutely be a super power, our landmass, resources and technical know-how can allow us to prosper and lead on the global stage

    I mean, sure we "can", just like many others can like Argentina or Norway... but this superpower thing is a bit tired. Let's just worry about not being pushed around instead of aiming for pushing others around - because that's what being a superpower means, really.
