    Congratulations on four more years of a milktoast centrist liberal, is he going to acturally fix the problems? Or is he going to be like Biden and make the big talk of peace and prosperity while sending weapons to fund genocide?

      Unlike his Conservative opponent, Carney has a resume of fixing problems more than talking. He has done a lot of talking during the campaign, as one should to get elected, now Canadians have a part in holding him to account as PM.

        What has he done? All I know about the Canadian Liberals is that like the American liberals they have a long history of promises and a short history of keeping them.

          His headline accomplishments are leading the Bank of Canada as governor, keeping Canada out of the worst of the 08 recession, then helped ease the fall of UK’s economy post-Brexit, then in his short 1st term as Prime Minister taking over from Trudeau, he managed to shut Trump up about the 51st state stuff for nearly a month, after just one call.

      I have the feeling that you would be inclined to deny the distinction between the Biden presidency and the trump presidency that followed it.

        Fundamentally Trump would not have gotten anywhere without decades of milqtoast ineffective liberals and corrupt milquetoast politicans, the Democrats are at direct fault for this. They built the conditions where people demanded something new and they gave them more of the same. They fought the left viciously while giving up the fight against fascism.

          Are you in any way able to criticise Trump or the Republican party directly, or for you is public enemy number 1 the Democratic Party?

            People dont hold the Republicans to any real standard because we all agree they’re just cartoonishly evil. Democrats can be critiqued because they have an actural ideology that can be pinned down (which I very strongly disagree with). Republicans meanwhile don’t really belive in anything of substance, they sorta just hate people and blindly eat up corporate propaganda (hell they call themselves conservatives yet their definition of conservative values are basically defined exclusively as whatever the hell Reagan did)

                Better is a strange choice of words here, better compared to what? Better compared to Republicans? Better compared to the Social Democratic parties of Canada and Europe? Or better compared to a real workers party? Because so far it seems like you have done nothing but attempt to twist my words to make up your own preconceived conclusions about leftists that has very little basis in reality.

                  I think you’ll find that I’ve mainly been asking you questions rather than misquoting you, but OK.

                  I thought it was very very clear indeed what the two alternatives were for who is in the Whitehouse, and I’m sure we’d agree that they’re are theoretically much, much better alternatives like actual left wing parties, but no, I wasn’t asking you a theoretical question about parties that had no chance of winning in the USA at all, I was asking you about the real world. I’ll try again.

                  In your view, is it better for America to have a Democrat in the Whitehouse than a Republican, or not really?

                  Would it have been materially better for Harris to win rather than trump?

                  Would it have been better for Biden to win than trump?

                    I essentially already answered your questions so you know what ill reject your false dichotomy. I reject the entire premise that I have to pick between fascism and fascism lite, between one capitalist and a slightly better capitalist. This system is fundamentally designed to strip all power away from the workers and into the capitalists. Liberal Democracy is democracy by and for the capitalist class.
