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.

You know the only US election where voters outnumbered nonvoters was 2020, right?
And what did that get us? Genocide, more deportations than Trump 1, massive fracking bills, more money to cops, violent crackdowns on peaceful protesters. The only good thing biden did was pull out of Afghanistan and he was hated for it and followed it up with immediate sanctions to stave the people already suffering under a taliban government.
Edit: Its also just not true. The last time a US presidential election had a turnout below 50% was in the 1920s
