Ever notice how literally no battle is worth fighting to cons or you? Ever?

See, the problem with you guys is that you view politics through children's eyes, like it's a Saturday morning cartoon - a battle of wills between good and evil, and whoever has virtue and the truth on their side will prevail.

Grown adults know that politics doesn't work like that. Grown adults understand that politics, elections in particular, is a nuts and bolts process that doesn't give a fuck about your feelings or right vs wrong. They're only about persuasion and popularity, and the "bad guys" can and do persuade voters all the way to victory. See: The last two Canadian elections.

Grown adults realize that if you want to do X, but 75% of Canadians want to do Y, then campaigning on doing X means you will never be able to do X because you'll lose the election if you campaign on doing X. Therefore in order to ever be able to X, you have to NOT campaign on doing X."

Grown adults are able to understand the above concept. It's children and people who are more concerned about feelings and virtue signaling who can't wrap their heads about the above concept.
