The erasure of the population that eschews voting is purposefully struck from the record every election.
Those who do not find any figurehead or party appealing are consistently the largest plurality every election cycle. The "silent majority" is not contained by any form of political salvation (much less the 'right' wing), but is instead actively restrained externally by state forces.
They do not need the "support" of a "party of the people" saturated with bourgeois terminology and aspirations, but rather spirited examples of active cells fed by a similar desire for construction of an alternate world via destruction.
Suggestion?
Next time someone says "You didn't vote, you can't complain" ask them if they really feel their vote changed anything.
You didn't vote?
Your party (🎉🤪🥳) likely won the largest plurality of the population but the nationstate is avoiding their own illegitimacy through installation of a minority-supported 'representative'. I thought liberal democracy was about "majority rules."

Am I the only one who thinks the #AlbertaNDP’s TV ad that makes the snarky comment about Notley looking good in a pair of jeans as opposed to Smith in a pantsuit - a tad cringy and backward for the status of women leaders?
It’s 2023 and seeing that in a public forum, is bloody ridiculous…
Also as a Calgarian, it’s disappointing that the NDP has been silent about that horrible arena deal.
I get that you need to win #YYC but you are give “disaster Danielle” some freebies.

I’ll be voting for Samir Kayande NDP in the Alberta election next month.
I require sanity and focus in my politicians, not batshit crazy. Both Kenney and Smith don’t represent me and our MLA Schweitzer well, he disappeared and never stood up to his leader. I’ve had enough UCP for now.

#Alberta #UCP has published a smear web site gainst the #AlbertaNDP. On this web site, they make a number of likely false claims. No evidence is offered for their assertions, even though that would be easy to do.
The smear site in question is notleywantsyoutoforget(dot)ca.

"'Huge concern': Opposition says #Alberta premier should come clean on campaign funding
Energy critic #KathleenGanley said Friday it’s a “huge concern” that Smith, before she re-entered politics, lobbied for an oil well cleanup bailout program that she made a government priority when she became premier.
This is, once again, #DanielleSmith being willing to do the bidding of those who put her in power.”

The only way #albertaNDP can lose to open kook #DanielleSmith of the serially ridiculous #UCP is to once again try to out-pipeline the #PipelineOrDie party. Stop hiding from a #JustTransition, #RachelNotley. For godssakes OWN IT THIS TIME.

I cannot wait to vote for Rachel Notley.
Loved getting to chat with so many great people today. I really believe in what #JaeleneTweedle can do for #RedDeerNorth and for #Alberta with #AlbertaNDP. If you're interested in volunteering in ANY capacity, reach out. If you come door knocking w/ me I'll bring coffee & ice cleats!
