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.

It's fun trying to decide whether this is #bothSides-ism or just lack of awareness of how evolution works. "It's pointless to push for better because while one's less imperfect they're both still imperfect" just seems like the footshot of harm reduction.
It scores really well precisely because the conservative cult, built on blind loyalty to the Team, just does not care about this stuff, and the dem refugees are constantly re-evaluating for purity and will lap this up to feed their angst. It could only be less transparent if it was posted originally from GMT+3
Corsicanguppy, The dems started a genocide with Israel and sent troops and bombs and pallets of taxpayer cash over to help. Whatever you think about both sideesism, Theres got to be a line which is "too far". And if mass murder of innocents, starvation of a population, bombing westerners including Americans so Israel can steal land isnt that line, and industrial scale pedophilia and murder with Epstein isnt that line, then I wonder if you actually have any lines at all. Dems need to stand for something and they dont. Why not?
I think its partially because they have massive support without having to do anything. And here you are demanding that support be given, in exchange for.. nothing at all given back to us.
I think "nothing will fundamentally change" is good enough for you because you've got yours.
