Late Stage Capitalism
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.

You must have missed out on the 2014 campaign then. The GOP hated trump.
True, but in 2014, Donald was a similar upstart candidate, and one with a history of supporting progressive causes and cozying up with Democrats.
We now know that Donald is whoever he surrounds himself with, but at the time, the politics made it make sense for Republicans to oppose him.
Then please continue proceed with caution when someone promises to act in a progressive cause, all the while having populist power. As progressives, we have to be ready to oppose those that wish to oppress us.
We can only act on information we have.
Proactive caution is better than ignorance.
