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.

I’m dying from cancer too. But I live in Australia, so the care, attention and support is very good. We even have voluntary assisted dying (VAD) for when the medication and pain relief are overwhelmed. I chose to live here even though i had a job offer to move to the us years ago. One of the primary reasons was the us healthcare industry.
Its horrible to say, but I have little sympathy for united states citizens because ‘they know better’ and have the ‘best healthcare industry the world’ so they voted for drumpf.
picture a little violin.
Yeah, we can’t have sympathy for OOP cause other people voted for Trump
Trump is only a figurehead to who is really running the show. You know it's not that moron doing anything. He couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag
Out healthcare system has always sucked regardless which shade of fascism is in office.
True. 🇺🇲 is a scam. Sometimes its better to be a little on the side of broke and qualify for financial assistance. That way your ER visit will only be $300 (including drugs 💊)
No only a ⅓ of the population for him unless you believe like I do that he cheated. I'll never believe he won without cheating
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully treatable
I was actually going to mention that here in Australia, everyone gets public health insurance at a minimum.
However, even private insurance is probably cheap compared to US, because it needs to be somewhat competitive
Sorry about your cancer or whatever.
