sabotabbyTom Mulcair, leader of the federal NDP, voted Liberal in the Quebec election.
Now, granted, politics in Quebec are a complicated proposition that I tend not to analyze beyond shaking my head sadly and slowly, but what the everloving fucknuggets? Yes, the NDP doesn't have candidates in Quebec, but there is Québec solidaire, who seem pretty good, so maybe he could do something other than symbolically castrating himself in front of the entire country. Maybe. I don't know. I'm not a political strategist; I just play one on the internet. But that's cat-trying-to-be-a-bee-and-falling-off-the-couch-level fail.
The silver linings are twofold:
1) I didn't have enough faith in Mulcair in the first place to be disappointed.
2) No matter what I do, politically speaking, it will never be as dumb as this.
