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.

Cool.
We'll just go ahead and mark you down as being in favor of keeping Trump in power.
Because that is absolutely what following your guidance would do.
Nice work champ.
You're shooting the messenger here.
You're not single-minded enough for the situation at hand, which requires the removal of Trump from office.
Zero rhetoric equivocating the parties should be tolerated.
If there's room for improvement on the Democrats side, find a way to say so without invoking Or Nothing Will Ever Change Language.
Concentration Camps.
Grasp the fucking urgency, and shift your messaging to match it.
Do you think history is a series of discrete events with no relationship to what has come before?
Keeping Trump in power will keep the Concentration Camps open. Removing Trump regime will close the Concentration Camps.
Absolutely no point that you care to moo about alters that fact. As such, I find your question utterly uninteresting.
The US education system teaches, on behalf of the government, that every event is self contained and compartmentalized with no connection to future or past events. It distracts from incremental fascism. Much the way they whine about Putin and what he's done without acknowledging it was the US, Bill Clinton and his government, interfering in Russian elections and getting Boris Yeltsin reelected who nominated Putin to proceed him. Or how Larry Ellison now owns a majority chunk of US entertainment and news which is only possible because of Bill Clinton telecom reform act.
It's liberals that keep people like Trump in power, it's liberals that put people like Trump into power by never addressing those material conditions. Democrats got the black vote in the '60s because they improved the material conditions of the black community. Now they've done nothing but abandoned them along with everyone else from the non-white working class
If I was a troll whose job was to supress democrat votes for these upcoming elections, I would discourage voting by selling hopelessness. First I'd try to conv8nce them that they won't get enough votes anyway. And/or, I'd crap on the only viable alternative.
So basically I'd follow your lead.
