So you won't vote Conservative because you're mad that they won't adopt a PPC style platform which would guarantee they lose in a landslide.
Instead, you're going to vote PPC (which is essentially the same as abstaning since LPC victory and CPC victory are the only two possibilities), and give Trudeau another four years of rule over you which is the worst possible outcome.
Oh and you're not just going to abstain, you're campaign every day to get more people to not vote Conservative. That's how bad you want another four years of Trudeau. You're going to come in here every day and keep campaigning for Trudeau, and then mark my words you're going to get mad when Trudeau wins the next election. And then you'll try and blame the Conservatives for your treachery, like you are right now with this post.
Oh an in sprite of all of this, the PPC still won't win a seat and will still amount to little more than a cringeworthy fringe joke party in the minds of 98% of the public. Everyone will still laugh at you and assume you're either a Qanon weirdo or a white nationalist when you tell them you voted PPC, and you'll still have zero representation in parliament. That's what you'll have to show for condemning this country to another four years of Trudeau: Absolutely nothing.
A win with a diet-liberal platform is no win at all.
So....
Balanced budgets isn't an improvement over massive deficits?
Removing interprovincial trade barriers isn't an improvement over keeping them?
Cutting taxes isn't an improvement over increasing them?
Ending cooperate welfare isn't an improvement over keeping it?
Building pipelines isn't an improvement over not building pipelines?
A $50/tonne carbon tax isn't an improvement over a $170/tonner carbon tax?
Imposing mandatory minimum sentences for violent criminals isn't an improvement over no mandatory minimums?
Reforming the Not Criminally Responsible Designation to prioritize public safety isn't an improvement over prioritizing the fee-fees of killers?
Addressing rural crime isn't an improvement over ignoring it?
Passing an act to prevent radicals blocking roads and railways isn't an improvement over leaving the radicals to block whatever they want?
Reducing reliance on foreign oil isn't an improvement over keeping us reliant on it?
Fixing equalization payments so Alberta stops getting fucked isn't an improvement over leaving it as is?
Closing the safe 3rd country loophole isn't an improvement over leaving it open?
Turning illegal immigrants away isn't an improvement over accepting them?
Reversing Trudeau’s appeasement of Communist China isn't an improvement over continuing it?
Cracking down on the efforts of the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate Canadian institutions isn't an improvement over leaving China to do what they want here?
Suspending the Canada-China Legislative Association isn't an improvement over keeping it?
Increasing military funding isn't an improvement over lowering it?
Making defence procurement the responsibility of a single minister isn't an improvement over leaving it split between multiple ministers and departments?
Unfucking the arbitrary firearms classification system isn't an improvement over leaving it as is?
Making it legal to discharge a restricted firearm on your property isn't an improvement over forcing you to take it to a gun club to shoot?
Getting clean drinking water to FN reserves isn't an improvement over leaving them to rot?
Focusing immigration on skilled labour for which there's an unmet demand isn't an improvement over letting in every sick, lame, lazy, elderly, useless sack of shit in the world?
Reducing even skilled immigration levels if/when post-covid unemployment is high (which it will be for years) isn't an improvement over keeping the flood gates open regardless of unemployment levels?
Ending Trudeau's media bailout isn't an improvement over keeping the media on the gov't dole?
Ending funding to CBC digital isn't an improvement over funding them?
Cutting funding for CBC English TV and News Network by 50% isn't an improvement over maintaining or increasing their funding?
Passing a law against the government using ideological purity tests to determine who gets a job or who gets funding isn't an improvement over allowing ideological purity tests?
Stopping Trudeau’s Internet Takeover isn't an improvement over allowing it?
Don't be ridiculous. Of course those things are an improvement over the alternative.
Stop viewing everything through labels and start looking at policies.
Nobody needs to adopt a PPC platform. They need to include those voters
It's the same thing. You "include" those voters by catering to their policy demands.
So you expect the CPC to shift far enough right to include the extreme right-wing fringes in order to recover that 2%.
Have you stopped to consider what the moderate swing voters (who BTW account for a hell of a lot more than 2% I might add) will do when the CPC goes full PPC? That's right, they swing to the Liberals. Why do you think the PPC are polling at 2% FFS?
So does the CPC shifting right on that graph net a larger blue area or a smaller one? Obviously smaller because there's very few votes out at the fringes. Most votes are in the centre, and you want the CPC to alienate them in order to accommodate a tiny fringe of Qanon people and white nationalists. The CPC aren't going to do that. That would be suicide.
This is why I often suspect the PPC people on this board are Liberal astroturfers just trying to erode the CPC vote. Because your positions don't even make sense. You're going to punish the CPC by voting against them because they refused to take positions that would guarantee they lose in a landslide.

If we lose on a conservative platform, so be it. I don’t cheer for a team, I vote for a platform. A win with a diet-liberal platform is no win at all.

That's just what you tell yourself so you can sleep at night with the knowledge that you're trying to get Trudeau re-elected.

You're basically demanding the CPC shift the whole blue area in this graph to the right: https://i.imgur.com/7zcsFr4.png

Then why are you shifting your support to an even bigger loser than O'Toole?
