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.

*Two parties to be played by. The existence of two parties allows the ruling class to launder their neoliberalism and/or fascism through a "legitimate" political process. If there was only one party people would actually take to the streets.
And maybe there's a way to do that better than carrying water for the "lesser evil" that ends up losing to fascists anyway? The model you're proposing has decisively failed anyway; might as well try something else.
Liberal lesser evil gave us incremental fascism
Refusing to vote for the imperfect candidate over the literal fascist gave us fascism.
Democrats are not imperfect candidates, they are the blue shade of fascism doing what fascists do to hold into power.
I have to correct this: ~~imperfect candidate~~ genocider who also outright ignored that you're being robbed of your labor and you are no longer paid enough to buy food. And for added fun, the candidate doesn't have a working brain anymore.
Imperfect indeed. I wonder just how badly Democrats have to fail before you'd change your behavior.
The Biden years were the absolute best years in living memory for lowskilled labour opportunity and wages.
You hated it because it made doordash cost more and you interpreted help wanted signs in storefronts as high unemployment.
LOL, taking a bit of liberty with the words 'living memory', and further, you're wrong. It's why Harris eventually had to turn to gaslighting us on affordability and the economy, because all of the facts and figures seem important if you're not someone who shops for yourself, minds your own children, or has to actually manage your own bills.
No, I hate it because, under Biden, it became a thing that the billionaires weren't satisfied with housing, education, health care, and child care becoming cost-prohibitive. Now, food is too, and the Biden/Harris campaign just ignored it.
But since you mention DoorDash, I will admit to being a little angry that my eighty year-old parents have to work for DoorDash or face the reality of homelessness in America. Bummer that I can't have a president who cares about people being able to afford groceries no matter who I vote for.
No, the Biden economy was the best for low-skilled workers that you can remember unless you can remember FDR.
You're smart enough to understand how the billionaire controlled media manipulates the public on police violence and Israel, but not smart enough to figure out that they were doing the same thing for Biden's economy.
Why? Because shitting on Democrats confirms your biases so you turned your brain off.
There was a global inflation crisis. None of the rising costs had anything to do with anything Biden did. In fact, Biden managed the crisis better than any other leader in the world.
Biden wasn't perfect, especially when it came to Israel he was total shit, but he was the most pro-worker President of our lives and the Billionaires, small town business owners, and Media hated him for that and relentlessly hammered into people's heads that the economy was bad. Now we're actually living through a bad economy and there's hardly a peep out of anyone about it.
How's that trying something else going for ya?
Curses! You've cracked the code! This is the very first generation to believe in morality, and that fixed everything!
By increasing suffering, you're actually better than everyone else, see! It'll get way worse, eventually failing, and in that power vacuum, only good people will seize control!
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
