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.

I voted for democrats last election. You got a party that manipulated the situation where the least insane vote was for them. That wasn't enough for you. You want everyone to be as happy as you are about it.
Who said I'm happy about it? Have you not read what I said? I'm just saying they are the shit sandwich that isn't on fire and covered in glass
So why are you trying to convince me to vote how I already voted in an election that already happened?
Are you hoping for a repeat of us being stuck with a genocide candidate with no primary?
No dingus I'm trying to keep Republicans out of office
Provided their opponent isn't a progressive.
So what's your solution for keeping Republicans out of office?
Stop interfering in primaries. Keep your promises. Stop supporting genocide.
You'd prefer fascism.
Wtf no, I'm asking you for what you, personally, are doing to keep Republicans out of office. What's your strategy, how do you vote, what have you found to be effective? I'd gladly stop voting for Democrats if you have a more effective strategy.
Same as you. Voting for democrats.
Unlike you, I'm not going to expect everyone to be happy to vote for genocidal shit like you want.
What gave the impression I was happy about voting for Democrats? Was it when I said they were a shit sandwich, or the several times I said I didn't like them?
You're literally doing the things I'm doing and I'm agreeing with you, I have no idea why you're mad at me now
