@annewalk@tootsweet.social Yes, but Polievre has tried to position himself as speaking out for "cost of living crisis".
His strategy is to put followers within "well-curated" insular social media that insulates and hides all the contradictions of this position.
Lewis and the NDP's test will be how to combat willful ignorance and the insular media that empowers Poilievre and Carney

@pinhman @annewalk In my opinion @avilewis and the #NDP should focus their efforts not on existing voters (most of whom vote based on party loyalty) but on those who feel disenfranchised by the current system and don't vote. The more new voters you can get out to the polls, the stronger you'll be. I love his idea to tour the country and I hope that he is not afraid to go into places he's not popular. Takeing an NDP bus along the rodeo circuit in the prairies for example; handing out free coffee and talking directly to the people (even if it means dealing with a-holes) will go a lot further than relying on the media to deliver your message.
