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.

She was just elected.
And is generally off to a pretty poor start, she is more of a centerist that a lot of progressives would like and with the gun law restrictions has already managed to piss off the 2A crowd (not like they were going to vote for her anyway). Overall, barring her event handling skills (see: disasters, hurricane season which we have yet too see), I dont see her policies wooing anyone new, I sorta expect her to be a 1-term gov.
You should expect almost every governor of Virginia to be a "1-term gov" since article V of the Constitution of Virginia only allows for non consecutive terms. Reelection to the office has only happened twice. The last former governor to seek a second term was Terry McAuliffe, who lost the election to Youngkin in 2021.
