A lesson in where political power really lies in America

“Tepid Support” is Joe Biden’s middle name. I’m still voting for Biden because Trump will be worse.
Finally, America can resemble Canada.
Our guy is fine, but he’s messed up a few times. No matter what he does, though, he’s better than the morally bankrupt runner-up party of canuckistanian oil-baron Republicans and thus - please god - stays in power. Even our #3 party has his back in votes because it’s the lesser of two weasels … or something.
So. Good goin, eh? Next we shall work on your pronouncation of ‘about’ and ‘roof’.
I live in Alberta. What are Trudeau’s chances of clinging to power?
It’s hard as fuck to gauge it from public opinion here
As a Californian currently travelling through Canada, the “F*ck Trudeau” stickers I commonly saw in Alberta made it feel eerily similar politically to certain parts of the U.S. I definitely can see why it’d be hard to gauge. It’s like the same dumbification cancer we have here is being spread there in Alberta as well.
With that being said however, I still think you guys are a lot better off as a whole than we are in the states as far as slipping into christofascist dictatorship. Ugh.
P.S. Please send help.
Biden will get my vote as well if he decides to stay in the race too. I’m more concerned about moderates and never-Trumpers and I don’t think Biden will ever win them over after his debate performance
None of the proposed “alternative” candidates are more moderate than Biden.
