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.

Well do something about it other than post on social media. You are the politician in DC.
Bills don't get the kind of popularity social media posts do.
They also are often used as performance pieces. A politician introducing a bill that is doomed to failure is not helpful, nor does it accomplish anything.
"Oh but it's important that they introduce them so that when congressmen vote no we have a record and-"
Shut. The. Fuck. Up. If I have to hear the "important to have a record" argument again I'm gonna scream. It is not important to have a record because the record doesn't mean shit. We've had records going back decades, it doesn't sway people in any meaningful way and it's foolish to pretend it does.
True. That would also mean a politician in DC would have to introduce something instead of just posting on social media, or maybe getting on tv for 12 seconds to say how had something is. Which they then proceed to open their bank account to check the balance.
