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.

Ok, I will abstain and allow the mass murdering child rapists to run the country instead!
Right, because Biden did so much on those fronts. And because the dem platform plainly states they will take action on those things. Right?
Trump rapes kids.
That what liberals did by allowing a Trump win the first and second time.
For real. The delusion that one can fully mobilize a political spectrum for an offering, like socialism, that is unavailable is always funny to me. Describe your steps. What steps should we follow to exhume ourselves from this hole without immediately rolling into an even deeper one?
Simple, step one is regaining control of Congress this November.
Literally nothing will get better if Republicans continue to control Congress.
Step two is uncapping the House. There are already members of Congress with bills ready to go that would do just that.
Those two items would fix about 75% of America's problems.
The former is plausible but the latter’s not happening any time soon. If major structural change of that sort occurs, I will happily eat my shoe. Agreed, otherwise
The DNC has shown time and again they will do nothing to roll back republican actions. Their ratchet effect doesnt allow for it. California has a bulletproof democrat supermajority and they cant get progressive legislation passed either, why should anyone believe more democrats at the federal level would be any different?
So your plan for change is to do nothing and hope, or worse, keep Republicans in power so that they can actively make things worse. Sure.
It's not me that's forcing the DNC to utilize their ratchet effect to prevent Republican actions from ever slipping back. They are the ones that are allowing it to keep getting worse.
