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.

Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) was the only Democrat who voted against the Iran war powers resolution in May 2026.

So either this is about some earlier vote, or the plural form of Democrat is a typo or this is standard tankie bullshit.

Outside of Golden (House) Here’s your Democrats who voted against the latest (Eighth attempt, all Democrat-lead) war powers resolution:


Fetterman (Senate)


That’s your “controlled opposition” in the whole of Congress - one retiring lobbyist scum-to-be and one brain damaged MAGAt who would be recalled if it didn’t automatically put a worse republican in his seat.

Oh but its the Democrats oh they’re so bad no one should support them

Appears to be true, see bill Here he is a cosponsor, not the main one, I guess. It failed the house Roll call vote and he is indeed the only dem to vote nay/no.
