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.

I don't care about history. These are unprecedented times, and they require unprecedented solutions. We SCREAMED for justice for Trump and MAGA during the Biden administration, and they all but ignored us.
That will NOT happen again, or they will leave us no choice but to deal with it ourselves, and if THAT happens, stubbornly cowardly Democrats are going to find themselves standing right alongside the MAGA criminals.
They WILL do what we tell them the next time, or else. It is time for the good Citizens of this country to stop being polite, and demand justice, OR ELSE.
I actually think we may get that. The next crop of new Congressional Rep's and Senators that will almost certainly give the Dems the majority in both Chambers, and they aren't running for office to provide Business As Usual. They are coming in to reform the system and they will have The People behind them. The old guard is going to have to welcome them, and give them what they want, because those new elected representatives carry the people's mandate, and they all know it, and more importantly, WE know it, and are going to insist that that new mandate leads the way.
We aren't asking for much. We aren't looking for political retribution like MAGA is. We are only looking for justice for their CRIMES, which are many, and notorious. They all need to be charged and prosecuted for what they have done to this country, and it's citizens, and to outsiders who deserve the protections of our laws.
We are only looking for justice for their CRIMES. Is that too much to demand?
These are not unprecedented times, they've done this time and time again, which is why their history does matter. Liberals thought the same change was gonna change when the squad got elected. None of them were given any positions of power or influence until they started parroting the same party bullshit, and the ones that didn't are never talked about anymore. They thought Hope and Change™ was gonna bring about progress, but we ended up with another Reagan in blackface, or as Malcolm X called them, a house negro.
They've been given multiple chances over multiple decades, they have no interest in allowing the system to change that they benefit from so much. Which is why the party and their voters fight harder to prevent leftists from gaining a foothold than they do Republicans.
