The NDP went from a party of 2 to 38. It's good to have a strong voice, access to more funding for research, assist more people with issues and more. More media attention, more voices in the room, more people on your side calling and emailing the other side.
What would you rather have? You and someone else being the 2 NDP MLA's running around telling everybody how stupid they are cause your team only won 1 out of how many elections?
That's like Flames fans running around telling everybody in the NHL that if opposition teams would just stop beating us in hockey, we would win more Stanley Cups!! If only other teams weren't so stupid!!

I have no issue pointing out how stupid it is to vote for Danielle Smith. Yes, it's a democracy, but that doesn't excuse ignoring her many many faults to cast a vote for her because she's wearing the colour people have always voted for. Some elections call for an absolute halt of that sort of #### to protect our democracy and it matters a lot less how you feel about the other side.
Now we all wear the UCP and watch as they take away our rights while telling us they are protecting them. So no, I don't have any problem insulting UCP voters for what they've done to the rest of us, because it will always be far far worse than me calling them a smelly head.
