It’s not my job (for example) to court you. You’ll vote for the NDP or the UCP based on the people you’re actually voting for and their platforms, I assume, or you’ll throw your hands up and waste your vote thinking wasting your vote in protest has ever made a difference. And personally, when I see people regurgitating the same points that have been discussed, explained, and reason multiple times (specifically on a message board where said people have been involved in the question) it just reads as disingenuous.
You can have an actual discussion, but why does anyone owe you the same conversation we’ve had 100 times over the last 6-7 years? Why is this thread pointless because you can’t have the same conversation for the 101 time? At a certain point, when is it disrespectful of everyone else’s time to demand these things be entertained or accuse them of shouting you down?
Explain how providing further evidence of Smith being incompetent with a simple, sarcastic “competent government, competent leader” comment is “shouting” you down.

No, it’s not that though. It’s just sheer “whataboutism”. I say I’m not sure about the NDP and supporters say “I can’t believe you support the UCP”. It’s utterly pointless.

Hey, if the shoe fits. I’m not rehashing it, but there were lots of people who noticed this and called them out for it. It was a fiscal nightmare that is not just pushed away with “those other guys are bad”.
Anyway, I can see I’m just wasting my time in this thread and I really should know better! I just don’t see why my thought that I don’t like the UCP and I’m not enamoured with the NDP is so difficult to understand. Both can be true.
