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.

There were always non-evil choices. Most people were too afraid of a non-evil world to pick them, though.
The idea that third parties steal votes is also a liberal myth. Your party members do nothing to earn our votes. If there were no third-party candidates on the ballot, we would still not vote for your neoliberal, right-wing, fascist candidates.
So you are okay with the greater evil winning instead of voting for the lesser evil?
You are okay with perpetually being locked in an endless cycle of "having to" (even though you have other options) vote for the "lesser" (someone who does all the same as the republicans, just slightly more competently) evil forever?
Your lesser evil gave us trump, so no, my vote goes toward no evil
Actually they don't. The democrats arent owed your vote, a third party isn't stealing votes.
And they never will because of short-sighted people like you.
The entire argument of voting for the "lesser" evil rests on focusing exclusively on the immediate issue at hand. You do not understand what short-sighted means.
No, you're thinking of voting blue no matter who. Making absolutely no demands of dems, voting for them no matter how abysmal they are and how little they do, is why we got where we are. Dems' "pied piper" strategy is the reason we even have Trump.
