Late Stage Capitalism

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.

States are adopting ranked choice voting as we speak. Mostly just states with voter sponsored ballot initiatives, which includes 30 some of them.

They are also removing them after it hurt them in elections (see Alaska)

I didn't know that, the states with constitutional amendments it's not so easy as removing them, it takes supermajorities, I think 3/4 of lawmakers to overturn. Some referendums are just statutory or order lawmakers to do things, which are doomed to be subverted obviously, as we saw with Florida's felon voter enfranchisement law years back.

Michigan should be voting on one soon, it might even me in this next election. The vote is tighter than previous amendments like marijuana or ending gerrymandering though.
