Funny how some of the furthest left slanted posters on this forum (almost like you could call them the usuals) thanked your post.

Not really. One of my most shameful hobbies is showing up here, wasted, at 2 AM, and seeing that your posts are still much more ####ing stupid than mine.

All because I questioned your slant on CliffFletcher's position to claim he was a CPC supporter?

That's....uh...not what I claimed there, champ. Despite the differences we've had, I feel like Cliff would agree that I've never assumed his political leanings beyond his dogmatic beliefs in the power of liberalism (we can both disagree on the panacea, but I don't think I'm misrepresenting his views. Cliff, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

They have more policies I agree to than I disagree to. I've never liked the social branch of conservatism and have always seen it as a giant anchor, but I've always voted based on the overall picture with very rarely a single issue swaying my vote. If the Liberals truly are moving back to the right fiscally under Carney, they become a choice again for moderates who don't like the CPC being socially regressive (though by your past talk its quite apparent you think he and Liberals are also part of the problem). The federal NDP is not a serious party and the polls agree with me (Carney criticized the far left in his leadership bid speech).

So what you're saying is that you disagree with socially regressive views, but they're not a deal-breaker for you? Super cool.

Despite that, I do not believe the CPC is fascist and the rhetoric surrounding has been over the top (this does not mean we should ignore what they say or don't say).

That's fine. Agree to disagree. However, PP did just hold a "Canada First" rally. If you think Trump is a fascist (he is), he held an very fascist "America First" rally. Is that not problematic for you? Even if you don't think PP is a fascist, he certainly appears to be aping a fascist leader, right?

You however are over the top against anything even remotely right of your own views. You have a very long history of claiming conservatives have an agenda well before MAGA ever became a thing.

Not really. I have a long history of trying to accurately defining what leftism is, whether you agree with those view or not.

You think Liberals are center right.

They are. If you look at things from a political theory definition, there is very little that you can point to about the federal liberals that coincides with socialist ideology. Do you have some quotes from Marx, Lenin, etc., that you would like to share to prove the contrary?

You think Democrats / Biden are corporatist neoliberals lap dogs.

Again...they are. What makes the Democrats and Biden leftists in the traditional and theoretical sense?

You think Singh is somehow centrist. Everyone is right of you when you are so far on the left end.

Has Singh advocated for nationalizing resources, banking, and seizing the means of production? He has massively disappointed as an advocate for unions and workers rights. He defends the capitalist system in general. By definition, that makes him centre to centre-right.
