    BC was a decision between a center-left candidate (who was doing some stupid election shenanigans) and a center-center candidate (who is by all reports the most boring politician they could find) in a province in Canada.

    This is not any way comparable to a country of over 200M people potentially falling to fascism.

      The Tories are still going to fuck up treaty negotiations, wreck sex education, push old growth logging, and sell off our health system. They’ll probably also repeal the single-family home zoning ban.

      Going to be a rough FO cycle.

      Do they need to be comparable for me to feel a certain way about their respective outcomes? Both matter to me.

        To feel like it’s relevant in a thread about an election in another country, yes, it should be comparable.

        You should probably work on your empathy a little more if over 200 million people facing fascism gives you the same feelings as a province electing a boring centrist.
