Me too; historically was a conservative voter, but couldn't vote for PCs or NDP in 2015 (so went Alberta Party). Been NDP since 2019 and will never, ever return to the conservative side unless they decide to govern in the same vein as Peter Lougheed again, which I doubt they ever will. Conservatives are so backwards and full of #### these days economically and socially, and its sad to see so many people fall for their corrupt, populist and exploitative messaging (and grift).
Voting by party color and doing anything you can to defend that party, even when your party has evolved into the equivalent of absolute scum, has to be the lamest and most embarrassing ####ing position ever. No spine whatsoever. Just cringeworthy.
