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, anti-communism, 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.

"The lesser of 2 evils."
America voted for the greater evil and is now experiencing face eating leopard.
Hillary Clinton was the lesser evil against Barack in 2008. Her whole campaign platform was that she was more electable and that voting for Obama was throwing your vote away.
The lesser evil thing doesn't apply to primaries, you always vote as progressive as possible in the primaries. And anyway, Clinton and Obama were both establishment candidates, they were the same level of evil.
Why doesn't the same logic apply to primaries?
