The federal Liberals are seeing a dive in popularity among younger voters, once the core of their base, falling 23 points behind the Conservatives by the end of August, according to new polling from Nanos Research.

One more time for the people at the back: POLLS ARE VOTER MANIPULATION

Polls and their news coverage gives people the impression that the outcome has been decided and demoralize / frustrate voters. It's why Thug Ford won a majority in Ontario with just 17% of eligible voters.

SHOW THE FUCK UP TO VOTE, AND BRING THREE FRIENDS.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Do you have any research on that you can point to? I was under the impression that polls are pretty good at getting people excited in some situations.

Polls: looks like the same shit!

Me: ties noose

Yeah, but sometimes it's "looks like the NDP is becoming a major party out of nowhere!", like back in the Layton days.

And then we got a Conservative Majority sooooo.... Yeah

Were literally no better off than the Murikan 2 party system

FPTP does indeed suck.
