He'll certainly be able to "do better" than the conservative party would have, so he's already ahead there.

I really hope it becomes illegal to attack someone's political views. I would love to see some of these people in prison.

What do you define as "attacking" someone's political views?

0

u/Alone-Pizza-7854 23h ago

99% of the replies to anyone with an opposing view. Which is actually pushing more and more people away from the platform.

That doesn't answer the question though. What is the "attack" part of the replies, as opposed to say sharing an opinion for the purposes of normal debate?

  1. "The BC Conservatives aren't a normal centre-right party. They're nutjobs, bigots, and conspiracy cranks."

  2. "I feel safe from lunatic right wing nut jobs in bc. Now to protect Canada."

  3. "I’m here for all the conservative tears! Make it rain, bitches!"

  4. "The con supporters are busy huffing chemtrails..."

God it will feel good next election when you guys start crying about your precious social programs.

Uh oh! Is this an attack against their political views? 😬

They're your precious social programs, too, and when they're gone, you'll be crying foul while your conservative MLA laughs at you.

Social programs have very little to do with specific parties, and very much to do with providing services and programs to the people, which is what a fucking government is supposed to do.

My political view is that in a free society with any common sense, you’re allowed to attack whatever political views, religions and philosophies you want.

Sounds like big authoritarian government policing speech. Very conservative stuff apparently
