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.

So, how did that turn out? Article is from 2017
Exactly as predicted back in late 2014 when it became obvious that the party was going to throw an entire election just to keep Sanders from winning the primary.
They'd shit the bed, Trump would win 2016, backlash to Trump would carry a nothingburger Dem to win 2020, their fecklessness would turn off enough folks to give away 2024 for Trump's second term, and now we've reached the time of monsters where the future depends on whether the kind of folks who go to No Kings protests can be organized into a general strike.
It turned out exactly like most lefts said it would if liberals chose Clinton as their candidate in 2016, which gave us Trump both times
