So, while my point is that there’s no good choice for a lot of voters, it’s a pointless “whataboutism” discussion. You’ll have to forgive me if I’m not super interested in that.

In fairness, it hasn’t just been “yeah, but the UCP!” it’s also been accurately pointing out that your definition of “brutal” is so all-encompassing that you’d actually have a difficult time finding a provincial government across the country in the last 20 years that didn’t also qualify as “brutal.”
The ANDP is a pretty good centrist/left of centre option, all things considered, and most if not all of their main issues could be chalked up to a fairly “green” party taking over from a conservative dynasty.
I think you’ve been given some pretty convincing arguments over the last few years as to why your opinion doesn’t reflect reality, but you keep sharing the same opinion as you’ve obviously found none of the facts people have offered you interesting or worth considering.
Boiling it down to a pointless case of whataboutism not only isn’t fair, it isn’t even true. Just because you haven’t ever taken interest in the point doesn’t mean it’s pointless.
