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.

Except... We've had periods where this is absolutely not true. Cycle still holds.
Stop finger wagging at the people voting and maybe address the real problem here.
In the past they have had a majority with context that some of the Democrats are only with the party because 90% of the Republican platform is malicious intent.
And in brief periods when it's not true, they do something that benefits millions of people and then gets dismantled over next years by the next admin. Meanwhile everyone fails to see the difference between "doing some small good" and "doing a lot of bad" and elect more evil people because the small good was too small
"Democrats arent respsonsible for their failures"
It's always someone else's fault
Yup. Like, look, i grew up in "the earth is 6,000 years old, gay people go to hell, and science is a liberal conspiracy to serve satan" christianity that is a core of the republican party. I despise them as much as the next guy. But for fucks sake, Dems make it very hard to support them.
Dems blocked by their own rotating villains in order to protect the status quo

They are helping rich friends of the oligarchy, which is bipartisan
