WHAT DO YOU MEAN RAISING MINIMAL WAGE

2019-09-21 13:12:07 UTC  

T-THAT WILL KILL BUISNESS!

2019-09-21 13:12:46 UTC  

And true, voters are the worst

2019-09-21 13:13:01 UTC  

Or have it be like the US where people have been talking about increasing minimum wage for several years and only now just getting US federal to $15 an hour when they need more like $20-25 to be at the level $15 an hour was when it was first proposed.

2019-09-21 13:13:30 UTC  

Spend so much fuckin time talking about it it's insane.

2019-09-21 13:14:01 UTC  

In most "democratic" countries people aren't mature and educate enough to participate in an actual democracy

2019-09-21 13:14:22 UTC  

Nope. It's like Alexis DeTocqueville said.

2019-09-21 13:14:28 UTC  

Yeah, Yanks have it worse though, because their conservatives are also anti-poor/anti-working class

2019-09-21 13:14:39 UTC  

Here cons at least do something

2019-09-21 13:14:41 UTC  

Well that's one of the flaws in the 2 party system.

2019-09-21 13:14:48 UTC  

Thankfully Left is getting stronger

2019-09-21 13:14:51 UTC  

That Americans are forced into.

2019-09-21 13:15:11 UTC  

Yeah, it sucks a dick

2019-09-21 13:15:43 UTC  

Imagine having to chose between a centre-right party and a centre-right party that are bsically the same

2019-09-21 13:15:53 UTC  

Imagine

2019-09-21 13:16:01 UTC  

Having Canadian politics instead.

2019-09-21 13:16:06 UTC  

Kek

2019-09-21 13:16:09 UTC  

Where it's just 3 parties all left of center.

2019-09-21 13:16:18 UTC  

Except for PPC.

2019-09-21 13:16:31 UTC  

Which just formed this year or last.

2019-09-21 13:16:32 UTC  

>libs
>cons
>left of centre

2019-09-21 13:16:35 UTC  

Well

2019-09-21 13:16:40 UTC  

Also it'd be fucking based

2019-09-21 13:16:43 UTC  

Left of center for Americans.

2019-09-21 13:16:55 UTC  

Oh

2019-09-21 13:17:03 UTC  

For you it's yeah.

2019-09-21 13:17:06 UTC  

Imagine 3 US style

2019-09-21 13:17:08 UTC  

Democrat parties

2019-09-21 13:17:13 UTC  

That's what Canada has.

2019-09-21 13:17:27 UTC  

I mean, here the axis has also shifted to the right

2019-09-21 13:17:28 UTC  

Just pick your flavour of Hillary Clinton/Joe Biden/Justin Trudeau

2019-09-21 13:17:40 UTC  

To the point where cons call libs "leftists"

2019-09-21 13:17:44 UTC  

🤢

2019-09-21 13:17:57 UTC  

Which is even more funny

2019-09-21 13:18:08 UTC  

Because our libs aren't like American libs

2019-09-21 13:18:30 UTC  

They are moderately conservative and support tax cuts and free market capitalism economy

2019-09-21 13:19:57 UTC  

So yeah, people call socdems here "fucking communists"

2019-09-21 13:20:35 UTC  

I like to meme that socdems are commies because it gets a rise out of so many people on /leftypol/.

2019-09-21 13:21:00 UTC  

Imagine having this much of a Stockholm syndrome to support liberal economy when you earn 2000 a month and call people who could actually improve your living standards a little bit "fucking commies"

2019-09-21 13:21:11 UTC  

It's like bringing up Trotsky in any communist discussion.

2019-09-21 13:21:14 UTC  

It's funny as fuck.
