I’ve noticed that the NDP has a visibility problem especially among blue collar workers. I’t seems that many people seem to think that the conservatives are going to make canada more affordable. How can I talk to people to get them to understand that the conservatives are just business as usual and are going to make canada more affordable for big corperations and resource extraction companies. Not the workers who actually get stuff done?
Lower your expectations. Best you can probably do by yourself is to get them to not vote by showing them that the conservatives suck.
Doing a 180 and going for the NDP is unrealistic unless you’re talking about a childhood friend or someone who owes you their life.
It is not unrealistic to think that someone in labour might become interested in hearing more about the only labour party in Canada when they are exposed to the actual ideas, regardless of who they voted for most recently. It happens all the time. There aren’t opposites in politics, that is an illusion.
