There’s no room for middle ground and posters will just feel like they’re being shouted down.
And, just my opinion here, but these are the voters the NDP supporters (not just voters, but people donating money and time) should be trying to court. Instead, you make a comment about something the NDP did or note things you don’t care for about them, and it’s “why are you voting for the UCP?!?!”

Funny enough I've actually - and this may shock you - voted for pretty much every party at every level of govt. So lump me in as a NDP still if you will, when in this case, it's more like ...

....like iron maiden is getting at. NDP has a whole bunch to be criticized, but holy f, the UCP has gone so off the rails, we can criticize royalties, light bulbs and the like, and we should, but I am beyond belief. We have a govt lead by someone who thinks pfft, we can just throw borders away and so be it...
...that said, I wasn't targeting you per se, just saw your post as a funny segue to the "let's redraw Alberta's borders with crayon".
At least you respond, unlike someone like Yoho who drives by or complains people's reactions. But, at the same time, and whether this applies to you or not, I am getting a bit tired of this "oh hey, UCP is dumb but we gotta both sides this, NDP this ... Alberta party that .. federal government this ...".just own the provincial opinion. This guise of "I'm just presenting the other side" is pretty tiresome.
And both sides need to stop on tired old cliches "oh NDP bad fiscal". Uh..Oh UCP don't have a care for anyone. Ugh. There is plenty of actual proof how bat#### the current government is that we don't need to pull out this ole troupe.
