Such a painfully corrupt bum. This province was moronic to vote him in the first time, it's unforgivable to vote him in again.

What was moronic was the number who didn't vote. Doug only gets elected because the people who vote in Ontario are hicks and skids.

Unforgivable? You're what, gonna take responsibility for it? People like this who want to act like this is a moral failing of society and not the intended outcome of an unequal system seem to want group punishment without counting themselves among the groups they are a part of and want to punish.

The province did not vote him in, his admin won with minority of a minority vote each time. Before you say that low turnout is also a moral failing of society, he could have won with a minority if everyone in the fucking province voted because this system is not designed to empower people, it is designed to concentrate power into the hands of a few individuals. Suburbanites and county people voted this admin in; why not blame them specifically if you're looking for groups to not forgive?

Fuck that, someone voted, knowing the result was him. Not just someone, lots of someones, lots and lots

The comment is wrong. Voting empowers people. Not voting removes power.

Cool, too bad that the world isn't what you want it to be just because you think it ought to be. You think it's happenstance that it is so easy to form a government with an extreme minority vote in this country?

I know you don't understand what you're saying.

Edit: just realized this is the same dipshit who got mad that I said Mark Carney is a Neolib and that the Post Service should exist. Either politically illiterate or actively promoting disinformation, won't be giving this attention beyond this point.

Only 22% of voters voted for him, the rest didn't care to vote. With Harris, Boomers in public unions voted him in then he ate their stupid faces.
