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.

Zohran Mamdani, AOC, Rashida Talib, Ro Khana, Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, and the rest of the progressives would like a word

All in blue states and still a very small number relative to the democrats that can win outside of blue states.

In other words they can’t win a nation wide election.

gets a list of popular progressives that win elections - "yeah but not like that, lemme move my goalposts real quick"

I like how you ignore the part where those progressives are only popular in blue states. You can’t win nationwide elections with only blue states.

Or are you trying to move the goalpost by pretending we aren’t talking about nation wide elections?
