reframe on the election: david eby is an ultra-left accelerationist and a historically progressive force who is deploying the tools of dialectical materialism to make the contradictions of capitalism more blatant

So…it’s not the immigrants who are responsible for the housing crisis. It’s capitalism.

I, for one, condone her antics
Replying to @p_allard
You condone her antics. Shameful. Using seniors citizens outdoor recreation equipment for silly videos. You really need to grow up if you don’t see this is shameful there is something really wrong with you. That is not what this equipment was installed for.

Canadian Democrat
Canadian Democrat just called for the extermination of "the conservatives" who just won the election in British Columbia. And then the rest of the Democrats in the room gave her a standing ovation. Realize where we are and who we are dealing with. 👇

I mean if you have to collapse an entire party’s support structure into your own to still lose an election. Without doing anything to earn those votes mind you. Ya, it is kinda nothing.

Today broke grey and raw for New Democrats here in BC: last night was a body blow. This morning I’m sending solidarity and care to all the progressive organizers - within and beyond electoral politics - who have worked tirelessly over so many years in this province. It is thanks to your unending effort that we have won and defended all our social gains: queer and disability rights, Indigenous rights, childcare and public health, working conditions and unionization, universal public services and more. None of these victories came without struggle. And that struggle must continue now, to protect them in every way we can. But not today. Today is a day to feel all the feelings, find comfort and get some rest. Tomorrow we rise to fight again.

This is AWESOME news! 💚 BC Green Party leader Emily Lowan has won her riding! Emily will be an incredible voice for the people of British Columbia, and I'm excited to see her bring her passion, compassion, and determination to the Legislature. BC needs more voices like hers! 💚👏

You can't blame this loss on Green 'vote splitting' 1. The BC NDP called the early election, so that's 100% on them 2. The Greens support Proportional Representation, so they actually want to fix this system 3. The ONLY vote splits in recent memory were right-wing Liberals splitting the vote in 2011 Federally, and in 2018-2024 Ontario. 4. The BC CON win was so big, even a collapsed Green vote wouldn't have mattered. The left doesn't split votes: Liberals do, and moderates are the ones who elect right-wing governments.

eby loses an election, concedes it was his fault, even by likely very generous math it would still be a conservative supermajority, and it’s STILL the greens’ fault. GET REAL
13 ridings lost to Green vote splitting 51-40-2 is the result if the Green Party suspended and endorsed NDP in districts they weren't even close to winning 13 seats f*cked away The Tories would still have a majority, but that moves the needle, it's not nothing #bcelxn #bcpoli

i’m already seeing people blame this loss on the greens and i am telling you to shut the fuck up. the greens are not why the BC NDP lost this election, vote splits are only affecting a very small number of ridings. the BC NDP lost on their own accord. they’re bleeding everywhere.

Watching hardcore BCNDP supporters blame everyone except the megalomaniac who did this is a trip.

eby spent the last days of his campaign attacking the Greens, the party standing with trans people, DRIPA, and union workers. as a trans person i’m scared about my future and that is partially due to eby. unlike eby, we know the real danger - the far right who now control BC.
NEW - @Dave_Eby has resigned as leader of the @bcndp after his stunning loss. "It is time for new leadership in our party."

Crazy thing about Eby is that he literally didn't have to do ANY of this shit. Heard him described as constantly searching for things to Pragmatically Sacrifice. His staff is a hot mess of rando lawyers giving shitty advice. Most Democrat-coded Canadian politician I've ever seen.

the greens are so important that they determine the outcome of an election but not important enough to make meaningful concessions to or to even court.
