How Would You Convince Me to Vote Liberal After the Past 8 Years?
Alright, I know this is going to get downvoted because Reddit leans left, but I genuinely want to hear a real argument, not just the usual "every country suffered after COVID" rhetoric.
I’m in BC, and while I know the BC NDP and federal Liberals are different parties, they share a lot of similar policies. And from what I’ve seen, things have only gotten worse—especially when it comes to affordability, crime, housing, and government spending.
To be clear: I don’t support Trump, and I hate what he’s doing. The guy is crazy. This isn't about supporting some far-right movement. But let’s be real—outside of Reddit, the political landscape in Canada is shifting, and with the way things are going, the Conservatives are almost guaranteed to win. Reddit might hype up Carney or trust certain polls, but the reality on the ground seems very different.
I'm not saying the Conservatives will fix everything neither do I vote for them, but how do you convince someone like me to vote for a party that has:
- Overseen skyrocketing inflation and cost of living
- Made homeownership nearly impossible for younger Canadians
- Increased government spending with questionable returns
- Failed to address affordability, crime, and healthcare issues
If you're someone who still supports the Liberals, what is your reasoning? Is there an actual case to be made beyond "better than the alternative"? (feels like vote for a less shittier shit)
I’m open to discussion, but please, no "it’s the same everywhere" arguments—I want actual, solid reasons.
