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.

There are literally 2 parties on the ballots.
Your solution is to vote for a third party that does not exist?... if so, your solution is less than useless
From the outside perspective, there is one party on the ballot. They take money from the same super Pacs, from the same Ceos, from the same lobbyists, from the same bankers, for the same end game
maybe on your ballot there are only two. but not me.
I'm not USian... do you actually get the possibility of choosing something NOT republican or democrat?
depending on the jurisdiction, and the race, and a concept called "ballot access", yes.
Ok, so for the vast majority of people, not an option... this has been a productive discussion
as i said, it depends. most people had 3 to 6 options for president.
as I said, it is clear these are not true options...
people really could have voted for any of them. we can even write in candidates. the fact that so many did not is not evidence that those people couldn't have.
