The FACT is, Trump is underwater in almost every category in almost every poll. You're looking at OLD INFORMATION.

Really? Who were the intelligent people who thought tanking the stock market was a good idea and believe Trump has made 200 trade deals?
Let me guess: the insiders who traded on Trump's stock tips, right?
I guess so?
Is this the "supporters" in the OP?

Of course not.
🙏👍❤️
Obviously.
Some people don't believe that objectivity and open mindedness are possible. I suspect that they're just not used to compromising.

We need to start treating YouTube as entertainment, not information.
It can be information only when it comes from a source that is trusted across the board.
By across the board, I mean across political lines. Longevity and popularity factor in also, since that speaks to reputation.

I support any PM of ours who has to deal with such a disgraceful person.
Agreed.
Only prejudice would cause you to think that a PM naturally wouldn't want to help.
I don't like Poilievre but I would absolutely trust him to try his best in a negotiation.

1. I'm not sure who you suppose considers shadenfreude a wholesome pleasure, or when/where exactly you were expecting "true dialogue" from the hysterical manbabies in question.
2. Also, if you were to tell me that you didn't spare yourself a chuckle at the thought of them seething in their basements, wondering how it all went wrong, I wouldn't buy it. You don't have to admit though. 😆
3. I can appreciate not rubbing salt in the dejection of regular conservative voters, but that's not who we're talking about.
4. Maybe, but those "external factors" are likely to be the next 4 years of Trump and the chaos and failure that brings. I don't think Poilievre is going to have a lot of luck blaming "Trump pooping all over the place (and himself)" on the Liberals. The cause and effect in this case is a lot easier to digest for the average voter than the esoteric economics of inflation and money supply.
5. Something I would worry about in the future, if I actually cared. One of the benefits of not being a hysterical ideological zealot is that your ego and identity aren't shaped by politics or what people are saying on an interweb forum. 🤷♂️
1. If you value dialogue you should engage in it at the highest levels.
2. I didn't feel good about leagues of disgruntled people, who have been failed by our economy, not getting their wish, no. That's regardless about how I felt about their candidate. I have friends who are hardcore CPC too.
3. If you feel they are chuds, you really should ignore. It's not kharmically sound to copulate with swine, as Ghandi said.
4. Ok.
5. I firmly believe you should try to step aside, even if you fail to do so occaisonally.
Anyway, I do appreciate your posts. -

1. Which of the above that Flyer's mocking do you think understand what perspective even means?
2. I think we can oblige ourselves a bit of shadenfreude after enduring years of their rage-posting and conspiracy theories.
3. I don't see this as a win for Carney or the Liberals either. The Liberal Party, especially, didn't earn it or deserve it. Rather, I see it as a repudiation in Canada of Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre, and their cultivation of incoherent populist rage and worthless culture-war bullshit.
4. I could end up being very wrong, but I think the CPC are fooling themselves if they think that their creep leader has momentum and can ride it into the next election. The better part of 4 years of Trump are ahead of us, and it's already a debacle and only getting worse. Poilievre will need a massive rebranding and image overhaul to shake the association, but I'm not sure he's capable of it like Harper was.
1. I can't see most of the posts you refer to due to the IGNORE function.
2. Go ahead, but it's not a wholesome pleasure IMO...it's back to the tedious back-and-forth that true dialogue should alleviate.
3. Ok
4. He could snipe at every move the government makes, and eventually swoop in and win an election which would rightfully be attributed to external factors. And then all of the vultures you're currently mocking would lick their chops and have a laugh at YOUR expense. The wheel in the sky turns forever....-

Always better to talk about knowledge and ideology versus 'intelligence'. There are lots of intelligent people on all sides of an issue.

"Fake" meaning... "incorrect" or that someone cooked the books ?
Conspiracies are hard to manage, but there's something to be said for an elusive public that rejects the establishment and simultaneously rejects their measurement techniques. AmIright ?-

Trump, not the US. This too shall pass. (After his 3rd term.)
The problem with the US is that the electorate doesn't follow conventional information sources anymore... so they can't be relied on to elect a reasonable government.

oh please they deserve it they do nothing but be trolls on here for 2 years now lol
Look at some of the ardent CPC supporters on here who are being wholistic in their perspective.
Politics is only a spectator sport if, like sports, it doesn't matter. We're at an existential crossroads here, so take it seriously.-

Will they reverse their Marxist no more gas vehicles by 2035 legislation?
If you can point to which part of Dad Kapital Marx wrote about converting to electric vehicles?
I'm really hoping that all the parties change, to become more collaborative. I don't see the Liberals going back to the moralism that help bring Trudeau down and I hope Conservatives can return to the pragmatic functionalism that has marked every great conservative PM that we have had.
I don't know if Carney is going to be able to weather the political economic storm that's coming, but even if he's out in one year he can do a lot for the country by bringing up the level of dialogue between the factions.

Sore winners, wow...
Politics isn't a spectator sport, like Canada's biggest loser or lingerie football.
Although many would like it to be.

Thanks 🙏 for the positive note.
I feel like all parties will be changing now, except maybe for the Green Party.

It's entirely irrelevant to our future life support and infrastructure damages.
And it actually proves the point they're against: See ? Volcanoes spewing CO2 for years caused the temperature to go way up and everything was fine... Everything meaning the massive ferns and bugs that lorded over the hot rocks.

Disingenuous or ignorance or both.
It's a strange point to make. Temperatures being at deadly levels when humans weren't around isn't reassuring to me, for one.

I think a good start would be to stop allowing banks the ability to create money out of nothing. If anyone should have that power, it should be the government itself, as it would essentially be a tax, which governments do anyway. A good documentary on the economic system that the world uses, focusing in on the U.S. can be seen here:
Kind of a super socialist idea, that people can't lend out the money they have on hand. Fractional reserve banking has been around forever.
It's another one of those issues like the gold standard... Where somebody talks about how it influences everything but nobody is really sure why. And conventional economists barely mention this stuff.

As typified by the "who cares" responses, Climate Change's big impact is that it revealed a public sphere that can't coalise on problem solving.

US economy shrinks in first quarter of Trump 2.0 amid sweeping tariffs
in Federal Politics in the United States
Posted
https://globalnews.ca/news/11157562/stock-markets-sell-off/
2.4% growth in GDP for the last 3 months of last year, and now a 3% shrinkage?
And the only new policy since then has been these tariffs. So... Blaming Biden is ridiculous
