And the decision to run in this ridings is all well and good, but it’s symptomatic of the major issue that progressives and liberals suffer from. They would rather be right and holier than thou, as opposed to winning elections.

You're disingenuous. You intentionally phrased your comments to make Lewis sound like a drug dealer by calling him a pusher and that is only made worse when you confess that you know better. And then you think that this somehow reflects on me?
There is no "fact" or proof to your statement about the palatability of "this". Whatever this is. The fact is
affordability is the #1 issue in Canada. After that the issues are America (specifically Trump), the economy, housing affordability, and healthcare.
The Liberals and Conservatives have no real answer for affordability. The Liberals will give it a half-hearted effort in order to win elections and the Conservatives will lie to us and tell us they care in 3 word slogans when their policies show that they do not.
My point is that we need a political 3rd option that will swing big to address our top issues. People keep saying that the NDP needs to be more centrist to try and do that and I think that is wrongheaded thinking. IMO, the NDP needs to get bold with progressive populist ideas instead of just offering an incremental difference from the other parties.
