I don't know anything about NDP, but Ontario has an election on the 27th. In my riding I only have PC (conservatives), Liberals, and NDP. I hate libs and conservatives, should I vote for NDP or just sit out and not partake in the booj electoral system?
Voting is not a moral act, and not voting in the current material conditions on Ontario isn't going to bolster some revolutionary cause. That can be the case sometimes, but it's certainly not here and now. Actual conditions and the possible effects of actions matter, to suggest otherwise is idealistic lib shit.
... that said, I can certainly understand not voting in this utter sham of democracy, but the difference between a shitlib and a principled socialist is that socialists care about real things in the real world, not idealistic nonsense that only serves to make them feel good and pure, so I suggest checking out https://www.notoneseat.ca/ to see if votes in your riding even matter, and who the most likely ABC candidate to win is. If your riding doesn't matter (which is pretty likely), then there's no point in fussing about voting at all. If it does, well... anyone is better than this comically corrupt clown government, if you ask me. Even the fucking Liberals.
OK thanks for the info.
