But Acronyms have now reached critical mass. I just finished reading a post by Avigail Abarbanel about Trump’s NPD, (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and now I’ve got AOC. (That’s Acronym Overload Confusion, nothing to do with the congresswoman.)
People are struggling to stay afloat while the Westons and the Rogers get richer and richer.
Carney has chosen to side with the latter by cancelling the move to fairer taxation of investment profits, and dismissing any calls for price controls (even if they have worked in Switzerland), and we all know what PP would do.
I expect this to be responsible for the small uptick in NDP polling over the last month, hopefully that is the only the beginning of a trend until the next election.
The great irony is that Singh was brought in as the social media-first, 'viral' leader, then largely failed to meaningfully connect policies with that authentic image. Singh is an active cyclist, yet never proposed or advocated for federal safe cycling or other infrastructure funding that would enable a modal shift away from driving. Singh is a health and gym nut, yet never connected that part to any policy proposals either. Singh was a successful lawyer, yet legal reforms weren't highlighted in any policies as far as I recall. He did personally connect his experiences to defending diversity and religious tolerance, but he could have done so much more. There was a real hunger for anti-genocide messaging, but even that was met with timidity. As podcasting grew in influence and converged with social media, even that potentially enormous outreach outlet was largely ignored by the party. Singh rode in on social media, then failed to leverage it, adapt with it, and at the end, even understand it.
A personable and warm leader was somehow overly packaged and burdened with under-personalized messaging and overly narrowed policies. Opportunities squandered, one after another.
Based on dire polling numbers alone, that pivotal Sept. 2024 announcement needed to conclude with a resignation and leadership contest. Singh put country before party (crucially saving us from PM PP), but also, tragically, ego before party.
I appreciate this post.
