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.

Oh so you have actionable way to affect change or are you just going to let trump have another go at fucking up your country worse?

Sure don't vote for either, I'm sure that'll make things better. They'll definitely hate that turn out is even lower and make changes to the government structure because you didn't vote ๐Ÿ‘

She has literally stated several times she's gonna try for a third time. At this point people have basically accepted that it's between her and Newsome, neither of which anyone wants and will cause Dems to lose again in 2028.

She will and the next president will end up being Vance. The DNC never lets their arrogant hubris get in the way of losing an election

Lots of American still not realizing they're just going for another cycle of what brought Trump into power. Dems lost because they were just that bad.

You're so far in it that you need a litteral revolution to go forward. But I doubt you have what it takes yet. Not today but hope will be for tomorrow, which people gotta start to build now.

Anyway whether it's reps or dems, they will eventually bring you to war and use you as fodder, because capitalism is in crisis and it will only get worse. At some point war will be the best economic option, and in your country economy is valued above human life so it's bound to happen. All they will need then is a moral excuse or an unfortunate event.

This is the same nonsense that got Trump elected. Except Trump accelerated the problems in Gaza, so voting for Harris was a better choice.

Harris and Biden leveled Gaza. Those that deny a genocide are never the better choice

Trump accelerated the problems in Gaza

You only think this because you were a genocide denier when it was Democrats doing it

I just got done voting and never felt so hopeless. Without a revolution in this country nothing will improve. I lived long enough to see the cycles. We never go back only forward.

I don't know I just think and do whatever hasan piker tells me. He's my hero. I worship my idols. Rinse and repeat. I have the memory of a fly. Off to go play with my chatgipity as the baby skull crushers gain even more ground. Brick by brick I just sit here watching the fascist build power as we talk about nonsense. Side note: Have you ever seen any of these streamers hang out with the poors?

[โ€“] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -5 points 3 days ago

People like Trump and Harris and their respective parties are the ones building those fascist powers
