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.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Elaborate on how decades of lesser evilism has helped

Can't elaborate on the value of something we've never tried

???

This has been the Democrat strategy for at least 15 years

Sure but they've lost most of those races to the greater evil, so we can't say how it would have worked out voting for the lesser every time.

The argument of the "lesser" evil is we have to go with it, otherwise the greater evil wins.
You, quite correctly, just pointed out that that argument does not hold water. The democrats lose all the time, yet insist they must behave as they do, lest they lose. They pretty clearly could choose to do something else, they dont want to.

Damn, sure sounds like lesser evilism didn't work very well then
