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.

I mean, I fucking wanted Mamdani.
Yeah, I wanted Mamdani, too. I'm just pointing out the fundamental contradiction in "Vote blue no matter who" when a significant portion of the blue are like these 13 assholes, and will leave no stone unturned to actively oppose people even having a chance to see Mamdani's name get past the primaries. The Democratic Party is absolutely rotten with such candidates, and following the blue no matter who mantra only ensures that you have people like them ready to pull out all the stops to go and kneecap a primary candidate who's to the left of Reagan so that you don't get a chance to vote for someone like Mamdani.
fwiw, I think naming and shaming these 13 is valuable.
I don't like "Democrats are bad" in general when the other side is fucking Nazis. And I think that's overdone a bit.
then don’t vote in bad democrats, and they won’t field bad democrats. and if both sides field a nazi and nazi light, vote third party.
Third party is little different from not voting at all.
