Canada

Progressive Democrats at no point accomplished universal health care. Obamacare was simply a "meet-in-the-middle" situation if you could call it that, which has slowly been dismantled by Trump's Republicans. If Biden's Democrats had some progressive fight rather than being overrun by right-wing corporate Democrats and managed to pass actual universal health care, Trump would have never had a second term, full stop.

You fight an ascendant populist right not by merging with people who have also moved right, but by standing your ground in your values. Saying that the NDP is sticking a middle finger to the vulnerable is completely rich seeing how vulnerable indigenous populations already are only to have a Carney government stick the middle finger to them by saying "yeah, once again we'll fail to address the systemic issues that face you, and on top of that, we'll bypass your treaty rights to do what we want".

The Carney government has made healthcare vulnerable by not fighting the Alberta government when it comes to violating the Canada Health Act, has made union workers vulnerable by forcing arbitration on flight attendants striking against unpaid overtime, made Canadians as a whole vulnerable to U.S. foreign policy by falling in line with the U.S. with the official statement on the Iran war rather than following through with calling out violations of international law as the prime minister highlighted in his own speech at Davos, made the working class as a whole vulnerable by appointing a "Minister of AI" and being the first prime minister in over a century to not appoint a dedicated Minister of Labour, the list goes on.

The NDP has been vocal and unwavering in all of these things. To claim that supporting the NDP and being against a floor crossing to the party that has done all the above somehow sticks a middle finger to the vulnerable is a flat out lie.
