"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are..." - George Carlin usually gets the props for that one.
He can give a good speech and he occasionally excels at stepping up when the country requires it.
The line I see on Reddit is "No-Fucks-To-Give Trudeau is the best Trudeau". Of course, it helps your southern neighbour has all-but declared war on you. You're always going to give even Doug Ford backing in that case, or at least the benefit of the doubt.
(and how would we get the word out about them even if we had them, given that the social media environment is also rigged?).
Grassroot movements can still work. But the machine is designed to weed out the disruptive elements, corrupt them when they get into power, and generates a mostly bland of politician because they have to please people in the party machine to get to the top.
And, if you're an independent, you're going to struggle to achieve anything in a two-party system.
