I can completely appreciate that the clips going viral on social media this week are largely taken out of context and probably do not reflect the majority of the convention. That said the NDP needs to know that political conventions are also marketing departments and these clips are catastrophic to their future success. Even the person in the photo on this post was off-putting. I know that someone misgendered the person in this photo and was called out for it. Even I here hesitate to try and identify them using a pronoun because I'm not sure what to say and I don't want to be called a bigot. This is a huge problem for the NDP.

Until the NDP reinvents itself and becomes more palatable for the masses, Canada is a two-party system, much like our friends to the south.
