Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

If the author wants to basically spend the entire article rattling off stereotypes of White People considering them as one homogeneous bloc, cool I guess.
The resistance will coalesce in different ways in response to various events, which does include the situation that all kinds of people got more engaged, only after a white person got shot and killed by ICE. What should be more important is if you can make common cause, than how any other group looks to fight back. You can keep yoga protestors a separate group from gun wielding protection groups, but we don't need to bring the prejudice in for either group and the focus should be that both are growing the movement that takes down fascism.
You guess wrong. It's not cool.
Part of the group in the streets support a party that has said they are open to increase ICE funding if they wear body cams. Reform never works
Who supports that ? Only politicians that are blue maga. The people certainly do not.
The people may say they dont but will elect politicians that do
I think we have all been manipulated and cornered.
For instance. Kamala. Her policies were Republican. We wanted Bernie. Yet we didn't get who we wanted. They sidelined us.
I still voted for her because Trump was way worse. But I was pretty unhappy about it. A lot of people were.
A hell of a lot of democratic candidates have misled us into thinking they were democrats when they most certainly are not.
I think a lot of people, myself included, believed that as long as I kept voting for that D, then surely things will progress. Often there is one D option when I vote. Local and national. It's gotta be better than the R, right?
The oligarchs and Israel have limited who we can vote for so that they always win regardless of who gets voted for.
We the people, even us who genuinely want progressive change, have been manipulated and limited in our choice of candidates.
Even now, the dnc is working 24/7 to fuck us from getting good candidates. They want power and their donations more than saving the country.
Too many politicians are greedy bastards who will sell our lives for their own benefit.
I get the anger. I'm with you. I get the betrayal. I've also been betrayed. We all have.
But it's not other people stuck in the mud with you that have caused this.
Liberals consistently do what they claim Republicans do, vote against their self interests. If they know their party js garbage yet still support them nothing will ever change for the better.
You said that you begrudgingly voted for Harris, they don't know you begudgingly voted for her. They just know that you voted for her and what that translates to is they can do whatever they want because liberals will keep coming back for more.
That tells the DNC you are willing to overlook a genocide, that you're willing to overlook homelessness at an all-time high, that you're willing to overlook nearly 70% of people living paycheck to paycheck. You're willing to overlook all of these issues just to elect a Democrat and in turn things will continue to get worse.
Voters think that they are helping with their lesser evil ideology. When a small amount of evil is accepted, a slightly larger amount of evil becomes acceptable next time, if you compound this over 30 and 40 years youve gone from a party of people like Jimmy Carter that built houses for the poor to someone that is denying a genocide and silencing those opposing her.
Okay but how can I vote for the right person if the right person isn't on the ballot. ?
