Tbh a lot of the disparagement the NDP faces comes from the one time Ontario elected an NDP premier (Bob Rae, in 1990).

Too many people still believe utter nonsense and outright lies about Rae’s tenure, like he caused the 1990’s recession (it began 7 months before Rae’s election).

Here’s a good article on the stories that people like Drug Fraud still toss around like fact.

A great way for the NDP to combat that nonsense would be to release videos on YouTube.

And Mastodon! :)

The one social media network the amplified left-wing radicalism–Twitter–got bought and tanked by a billionaire.

I can barely recall the last time I saw real left-wing content on Youtube, and the others (Facebook, Reddit) are fine with overt Naziism, but say “eat the rich and pass the ketchup!” and you’re looking at suspension.

There are some decent left-wing channels on YouTube, but you won’t see recommendations for them unless you have a history of watching stuff like that. Google knows about my political leanings because they watch everything I do, so I see left-wing content in my recommendations. By default though they are far more likely to recommend right-wing rubbish.
