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.

MODERATORS
I wouldn’t say the party is. The party itself is very firmly neo-lib to centrist and pulling further right. I would say that individuals associated with the party are democratic socialist, but at this point they should start their own party.
Let the Republican party collapse, the dems take up the right wing reins, and then actually have a party that pulls left full of progressives and socialists. Pipe dream, I know.
If you start your own party you will not find it easy to get on the ballot.
Very disappointing. This is why I haven't donated to the party itself in years, only to individuals.
13 useless "representatives"
Honestly, 13 is not a lot. It's certainly possible that they've got silent backing of many of the other dems in the house, but even if they do, the fact that they're silent about it tells you that they know this is a risky position to take.
They've been doing this for a while though. It only takes a handful of votes to torpedo a bill, so they get a handful of Democrats in safe districts to be the bad guy of the week. The rest of the party gets to look progressive without any risk of actually passing a good bill.

13 corpo-democrats that need to be primaried with democratic socialists.
Oh look, it's my shitbag congressman. I'm actually really disappointed. All the electoralism talk made me finally bother to go vote in this primary after sitting a few out and... both establishment incumbents won in a landslide. I fucking hate my district. A lot of them fall into the "embarrassed Republican" category of Dems. There are some nice people out there. I did work along with our local DSA years ago, it's just not nearly enough to overcome the fucking NIMBYs/Zionists who live here.
Republicans: we're going to try to repeal the 17th amendment and have permanent control of the Senate.
Democrats: like 6 socialists got elected, we're going to shoot each other now.

These are the fascists who were screeching at you to just suck up a bit of genocide and vote blue no matter who. The ratchet effect is so real.
