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.

Didn't the DNC largely get taken over by progressives already? Which is probably why progressives are sometimes winning primaries now: The DNC aren't ratfucking them anymore.
For those complaining that the DNC not endorsing progressives until after they won the primary -- that's what "not ratfucking the primary" looks like. The DNC is not supposed to play favorites in the primary.
It's going to take a while before there's traction in actual Congress, though, because they take longer to replace. But as soon as you have enough progressives to get actual leverage, you're going to start seeing a lot more happening.
Not even close. DNC is largely a conservative, neoliberal party.
