Its ugly, elitist, and incredibly intolerant behavior that probably contributed to the loss by not being able to swing more people on the fence to vote for the NDP.
You'll never win "hearts and minds" by berating people as stupid, bigoted morons for having differences of opinion from you.

I don’t think there is any point whatsoever in trying to win the hearts and minds of those who with all the information available, took the conscious decision to vote for people who compared people looking after their health and the health of others to Nazis. Or those that compared children to ####.
They’re lost - the goal needs to be to try and win the hearts and minds of those that didn’t vote at at all because they weren’t ready to vote for the NDP but couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the stink the UCP has become.
