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.

He still does. Progressives are winning more and more seats, eventually the DNC will be replaced and be useful brick by brick.
Progressives are winning more and more seats
Can't undersell the amount of progress DSA and its allies have made in the last six years.
But we're talking about half a dozen Congressional seats. A smattering of state and local races. Lots of people who are totally untested and unproven. Lots of people - like El Sayud and Mamdani - who seem more than happy to meet Zionists and bigot reactionaries halfway.
And they're squaring off against legions of ICE goons, corporate drones, and fascist billionaires fully on board with mass extermination of their opponents.
Look at Bo French down in Texas. This is a guy who is advocating a Holocaust of 100M people across the US. He's polling even with Jon Rosenthal, a Democrat who wants to maybe raise taxes on energy companies a little bit.
the DNC will be replaced
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

Posts like this only help the fascists. They have no other purpose.
The accountability Democrats created after a literal attempted coup, and having the power to do something about it for four years:
We're here because of the repeated and reliable failure of Democrats. And that failure is possible because of commentors like you.

With Gruesome Newsom being the possible front leader of the Democrats for presidential candidates they're utterly not hiding they don't care about human rights. They'd happily walk back LGBT+ rights to stay in office at this point.
I'm not American, so I know very little about newscom, what's so bad about him?
He's a typical MAGA in Democrat clothing. He criticizes Trump, but he doesn't do anything to punish the Sociopathic Oligarchs that we all know are the heart of the problem. He is perfectly cast for his role as the President where nothing much happens, and MAGA will rise for another bite of Treason Profits.
Simply put, transphobe. Uses the same rhetoric as the far right. As well his policies on homelessness and handling it in Cali is pretty piss poor. He's another example of fascist lite put forward by the Dems who are trying to appear more right.

I saw quite a lot of positive stuff about him on reddit, I'll assume just a passable PR team?
They will always laud the good and downplay the negative.
He's like the definition of smarmy rich liberal.
And yeah, he's anti-trans. Which needs to become a nonstarter for Democrats
he seemed to have fell of the news as of late.
schumer and hakeem will do this 100%.
Which is why the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries has to get the hook and be dragged off stage. They are 50% responsible for the rise, and re-rise of MAGA, and they e done nothing to earn a third chance at containing them.
It's time we give competent, committed people the job of resisting MAGA, since these two have fully proved that they are not up to the task. In fact, when this is over, and we're investigating everybody, we should also check into these two losers, because we'll almost certainly find they were collaborating with MAGA all along. If that's true, then they should end up in jail with their MAGA friends.
Best case scenario we get a dozen DSA's elected and their presence numerically forces a small measure of change. The centrists are probably insider trading off their security briefings and aren't going to do anything to stop the golden goose.
The fascists already won. Your only power now is local, as we saw in LA, Portland, Chicago, and Minneapolis earlier this year.
They'll use the power of strong finger wags though.
