    And you will change to this different model how? By voting?

        So then there shouldn’t be any issue with me voting for socialists, since they are who represent me and my views best. Sounds good.

          I’m the primaries? Of course! In the general? Of course not, did you completely ignore everything that’s been said? Splitting the vote on the left only hurts us. The only people who advocate leftists voting third party are people who don’t understand FPTP, and people who want the left to lose.

            My ballot must be different then yours, I don’t see any leftist parties who represent “us” in the general election at the federal level.

              I see two front-runners in the general election at the federal level. One is a centrist neoliberal party, the other is a fascist party. My interests lie with the fascist party losing. Since our system is FPTP, that goal is achieved by voting for the lesser evil. Voting third party increases the odds of the fascist party winning, so that is unaligned with my interests.
