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.

Where do the differ related to the military industrial complex? Genocide in Palestine? Bailouts for economy crashing poor investments?
Harris/Biden at least talked about moderation. Trump gave the full green light to wipe out everyone in Gaza and build a trump beach resort ffs.
They're both owned by the billionaires, but the Dems at least try to moderate it - and some in their ranks are fighting for progressive policies.
Whereas Trump has now totally fucked over the U.S. and the world. He's breaking all established international laws; he's fucking over allies and the environment. Democracy is essentially over in the U.S. now. So it's game over. The billionaires and fascists have won. No, that's not what would have happened in less than a year under Harris. You didn't do everything you could have to stop trump, so you are responsible for what he does. I know that's a hard pill to swallow, but trying to hide behind imperfect policies of Harris doesn't cut it. Take responsibility for what you did. Reflect. Burn in hell.
The only one not taking responsibility for their support of atrocities in this thread is you dude.
If you helped trump get elected by not voting for Harris, you made things worse for the people of Gaza. The logic is ridiculously simple. Try harder.
Actually our system is so broken that living in a solid blue state my vote literally doesn't matter. I had the luxury of casting a protest vote for Claudia De la Cruz.
Which isn't even the point, you need to understand what ratchet theory is and why a party that does nothing to push back against the right is only an enabler. Fascism has been our trajectory for decades, and you're still hung up on cheering what democrats say instead of what they do.
