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.

US politics is a result of US propaganda
Still not entirely sure that propaganda didn't originate from Russia. He and Putin are besties.
People blame Russians because the propaganda from rich Americans is so ever present it's hard to notice. We're like fish trying to see the water.
They spent $24 billion dollars over the past election. And that doesn't even count all of corporate media. Ever notice how pretty much everything everyone on TV says benefits the status quo?
Sure, Russians are running whatever ops they're running, but whatever they can do is a drop in the bucket next to multiple 24 hour news channels.
At least in Canada we have an ineffective third party that capitalists don't even bother to capture.
The lesser evil argument again. We can research democracy and try to explain to the self proclaimed democratic world leader how it works (btw usa is rated extremely low on the democracy index)
What y'all are yearning for has a name
Democracy
Don't let them pretend you have that when you don't
"Which of these two ways do you want to be fucked," is NOT democracy. Democracy is when power is accessible and attainable to any citizen with good ideas who makes the effort.
In a democracy, no individual has any significant political power. Political power is only accessible collectively. Having good ideas and making effort may not lead to the collective wanting to follow your lead.
Honest my ass. They lie almost as much as their orange hogfather
I don't vote for Republicans. Never have, never will. I do engage with Democrats, and tell them my needs and expectations.
Which they promptly ignore
Yeah, I try to vote for the progressive during primaries too.
