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.

Your only concern is winning the election and not for advancing workers rights. Obtaining power then doing nothing with it is a lost election.
Yet liberals always come begging for our support, we are Schrodinger's leftist, too small to matter and needed to win elections.
You can’t advance workers rights without winning elections first
Blaming the Democratic Party for the actions of the few that vote against their Democratic party is disingenuous.
Politicians can run as democrats when they aren’t.
Special interest groups can threaten, bribe or blackmail just enough to block legislation they don’t want. Then you scape goat the party that they voted against. It doesn’t make sense.
Anyone trying to win will reach out to anybody that can vote and try to win them over. This is how we know leftist aren’t trying to win or maybe don’t realize they are losing/unpopular because their own behavior.
