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.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

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. ?
