Politics Observation 48 hours before election day

Is it just me or others have notice the trend that all the social media (including redditt), and all the tv station there is such a big liberal presence and supporting the liberals, but when talking/overhearing conversation in coffee shops, parks, workplaces etc its overwhelming the support for the conservatives.

Feels like there is two reality around me, one that lives in my cell phone screen and the other out and about.

Uhm, no offence but, duh? You live in a riding that has elected the CPC candidate in every election since the electoral district was created back in 2004, of course you’re going to hear people supporting the Conservatives when you’re out and about.

You’re not observing a trend, you’re just seeing the variations in opinion between the bubble you live in and the people outside of it.

But, the groups on the social media from the community are overrepresented by liberals. So i get you point for the out and about, but its kinda going agains everything you said when you look at the online community groups

Which online community groups? Either way, the mere fact they’re online means they’re going to be populated by the younger demographics, and younger demographics are less likely to lean conservative anyway.
