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.

Democrats are not better, you believe they're better because you believe in a binary that there are only two choices.
Whether it's a binary option or not, is actually irrelevant to whether one thing is better than another. That's simple logic. A can be better than B even if C is better than both A and C. But in this case, it is a binary option. Unfortunately that's how the U.S. system works. Changing it would require a revolution, and I'm told Americans don't have time for that or even to participate in significant demonstrations, except on the occasional weekend.
But it seems that logical opinions aren't allowed on this sub as my comments are getting deleted. How sad; another sub trying its best to destroy Lemmy.
Because the left have been beaten so much by your precious and "better" Democrats that they no longer play your games. Again, great job showing your true colors as well and having a crash out over someone disagreeing with you that I shouldn't be able to vote at all. That's not very "liberal" at all.
