Wearing my team Canada shirt today because the entire country won last night, whether everyone realizes it or not.

I wouldn't say WON, but bullets were dodged for sure. Phew!

( But obviously we need to work on basic education )

It was actually so nice. I walked into work and nobody was talking politics because it didn't feel like the world was ending.

For any conservatives, I'm sorry. I work and am highly involved with vulnerable people, and I vote to protect them as best I can. A vote for PP would not have been a vote to protect the most vulnerable I know, which in my eyes is what a society is meant to do.

Don't be sorry, also they can't hear you here

I appreciate that, but I also want to avoid tribalism in relation to politics whenever I can. It's not about teams or colours in my eyes.

Make teams less important by passing electoral reform!

So you're only not a piece of shit when people can hear you?

You realize conservatives generally vote based on hatred and/or greed, right?

You know human groups are not made of monolithic homogeneous personalities, right? Oe should we say *all Americans" are faciats because Trump is their president and do nothing about it?

Same. I also work with vulnerable people and a vote for PP is a vote for many of my peeps at work to be tazered in a jail bathroom for something they cannot afford to medicate (such as it is in “healthcare is a big business” USA).
