Americans elected Trump twice. We never learn our lessons.

    I think they'll have the next election (the 2026 mid-term) but I'm less sure about the election after that...

    Most likely the election for midterms will be rigged or rejected if it doesn’t go their way. Or it will be otherwise delayed. It doesn’t really matter, if they start to lose power faster they actually become more dangerous.

    Relying on elections to oust fascists isn't exactly a great plan.

    I hope Canada doesn't forget why Carney won next election cycle

    We only just narrowly escaped having a conservative government this election.

    What’s really concerning is that the conservatives got a pretty big boost in the number of seats compared to the last election so there’s a significant amount of people that don’t mind having MapleMAGA running the country.

    8 million people still voted for the Fuck-You-I've-Got-Mine party.

    It is not like we don't also have a portion of our population that pines to be ruled by a dictator - Look who is leading Alberta.

    Dude. Head maple Maga leader of the Conservative Party not only failed to win after being massively ahead in the polls for 2.5 years capitalizing on Trudeau fatigue, he lost his seat!!! He is done, toast, finito. 1) Either his own party will elect a new leader OR 2) PP will have to wait months and months until Prime Minister Carney calls a by-election. During which time, see my point 1 above. And if he runs again in same Alberta riding, I hope Blake Desjarlais runs against him

    It would be a good time for independent candidates to rise up to give people a better option than the two parties that have held power for too long.

    I doubt we'll ever see better conditions for a 3rd party victory than the 2016 election, and even then they did terribly.

    I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the groundwork laid for it, mostly in the form of ranked choice voting becoming more popular.

    Next time they'll vote for the Hitler adjacent part instead of the Nazi party!
