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.

There's only been two Republican presidents in the new millennium so idk if saying Dubya is the smartest is necessrily whitewashing, because it also kind of feels like sneak dissing.
I agree with you.
I remember when we were sure that W would go down in the history books as the dumbest President of the US. The man owes Trump some serious gratitude for taking over that position and leaving a significant possibility that someone even worse will come along later.
It should go without saying that making the comparison is not an automatic endorsement. Unfortunately, it's hard to have a real conversation in good faith on a platform like this one. You'll inevitably fail some random person's very specific purity test.
Seems like that just sailed right over most people's heads.
