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.
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.

Either way you get death camps, get off the trolley and discover there's a no death camp option
It's not like you can't do both. Vote the lesser evil, get off the trolley.
Basically, don't expect significant change from Democrats until we can get rid of the neo-liberals. Until then, you're just voting harm that's getting steadily worse.
What is the no death camp option in the United States? I would genuinely like to know.
The only option I'm aware of is voting more, not less. Vote in every primary and every local election. Make yourself part of the process.
By electing the same people that got us into this mess?
You didn't answer the question. What's the no death camp option?
It isn't there. Vote for whoever you want, but acknowledging that you were not given choices at all is important.
It would be the option for expressing power outside of voting....
Keep going please...Tell me how that would work in the US system of First Past The Post elections.
Or if First Past The Post elections is the problem, tell me how you would get rid of that system.
It would require not using elections to express power
