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, anti-communism, 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.

Seems like you have to be pretty fucking stupid in order to run a campaign that has you losing to Trump, and yet the dems have managed to do it twice.
People dont vote for democrats because they suck and voting for them either does nothing or actively makes things worse.
Nearly three times. Biden only won by 40k votes across three states. Anyone who thinks he was a lock could have been proven wrong by some bad weather or a marginal (.3%) shift in public sentiment.
That, or being attacked from two sides. Or maybe americans just like trump. Enjoy the 2 dollars gas.
Lmao, if the "attacks" from the left (people saying they won't vote for someone committing a genocide) is what Kamala lose, then maybe she should've listened to what people were saying. Which again means she sucked, just like Hillary.
Thankfully that stopped the genocide and now the middle east is free and prosperous.
Or did it cause a new war, more conflict, even more genocide and spilled over to other regions?
I'm sure the parents of the dead Iranian girls are very thankful for your service.
All your talking points are so clichéed I can just dismiss them with a link
Which dismisses nothing
Wow! What a well-reasoned response! I will now write in Hilary Clinton.
You can't reason someone out of a conclusion they didn't arrive to by reasoning.
What a way to tell on yourself lmao. You're in the circus going "Look at all these clowns!" Give your nose a squeak for me and tell me what you hear
Says the guy who claim to dismiss everything with a link
No, just everything you've said so far.
Yes, which you tried to dismiss with a link and now with ad hominems, zero reasoning.
Sorry, would you have preferred if I copy-pasted the link, so you could feel like your thoughts were unique? Also: An ad hominem isn't just when you get insulted, dumbass
You are dismissing the argument by addressing the person instead of the claims, which you did. Textbook.
PS: if you feel the need to insult people online you might have anger issues, maybe touch some grass?
Sorry, but insulting you isn't dismissing the argument. Dismissing the argument also isn't an ad hominem. An ad hominem is when the character of the person making the argument is attacked as a way of attacking the argument. As I've already spelled out for you and you're too stupid to understand: "You suck" is not an ad hominem. "You suck and therefore your argument sucks" is an ad hominem. "Your argument sucks" also isn't an ad hominem, since you would've otherwise been called out for it ages ago.
Finally, I haven't dismissed the argument, I have addressed it. You are just not the first one to make it, so I won't rewrite the same argument to coddle your sensitivities. The only dismissing arguments here is you, since you are the one insistent on not engaging with the text given to you.
Anyways, learn what words mean and stop supporting fascists 😊
Which is exactly what you did...
No, I just insulted you. Learn the difference you idiot. And I did it after having given you text addressing your argument. Idiot.
I must have struck a nerve, huh? Breathe deeply and count to five, maybe then you'll calm enough to make a coherent argument.
"Huh, when I said some stupid shit, that seemed to annoy you huh? Wow I sure have you now huh?"
I know you're not used to interacting with people, but it's actually pretty normal to get annoyed when someone says something stupid. Don't think I don't notice you trying to use this cringelord refrain to move on from you not understanding an ad hominem.
Let me know what wasn't coherent in the text addressing your statements.
Here's a link proving you wrong
Sorry, a miswritten link to the front page of Google is sadly not equivalent to:
And again, this is still a sad and obvious attempt to move on from you speaking on something you do not understand. And likewise with you being unable to to point out what wasn't coherent.
Oh, I didn't know the link had to be to a webcomic, I though any link would do!
Don't worry, I figured you wouldnt tell the difference between a brightly colored front page and any text of substance, which is why I explained it to you.
But at this point I must admit I dont see any purpose in continuing this. You've made it clear you dont understand rhetorics and you struggle to read text that isn't spoon fed to you, so there's no real gain in talking to you. Likewise the thread is now so old and so long that all onlookers will have disappeared, so theres no reason to keep it going to influence others either. So I'm going to stop replying. I hope you one day grow enough as a person that you will be able to look back to this and realise how foolish you've been behaving. Or at least grow enough that I dont have to worry you'll forget to breathe some day.

Fuck off genocide denier and genocide enabler
Did I kill those girls in Iran? I just supported the candidate with the least amount of expected deaths, y'all supported the other guy because the first candidate wasn't 0. Who is the enabler now?
Your support of US imperialists did kill those girls in Iran, and countless people around the world.
I love the defensive. I just told people that trump would cause more wars and more deaths. Americans voted for trump. Trump caused more wars. People died in the tens of thousands. If your conscience is heavy feel free to lash out.
I'm just enjoying my high horse (and my universal Healthcare) over here, flexing my "I told you so".
And apparently americans learned nothing, and are already threatening to let republicans win if the democrats don't elect a candidate that passes their purity test.
Liberals are every bit as gleefully evil and sadistic as their conservative kin
Genocide denier
Not when it was your team doing it
"I have no team I just coincidentally deny the genocide of one of the teams"
BlueMaga shitlibs just as dishonest as their red counterparts.
Your smug arrogance alsonog ignored leftists when we correctly said what should happen if you supported Hillary 10 years ago, and here we are with trump, twice. Fucking liberals did this
