Oh my goodness 👀👀👀

I can't stop thinking about the fact that the house I lived in the longest as a kid was purchased for $56,000 aka roughly what my dad made in a year. The house I live in was just under $500k last year which is.... much more than my annual salary.

I truly hope that at the end of this deeply underwhelming night, the NDP resists the urge to blame strategic voting for their historical loss. This was an inside job.. Fixing the root causes will be difficult but is absolutely necessary if the party intends to survive.

The last time I attended an NDP convention there was a looping animation of Jagmeet riding a bike across the country but there weren't adequate supports for disabled delegates. This encapsulates the style over substance problem that has contributed to the rot in this party.

In order for the NDP to ever truly offer a viable alternative to the woefully inadequate status quo, it needs to clean house, gut the party's entrenched hierarchy and stop trying to court the centre. In a world of rising inequality, half steps to the centre will never inspire support.

Me: I wish Liberals didn't sound like Conservatives.

Liberals: You obviously want the Conservatives to win.

Like, I don't want it to be but also I need to prepare myself.
