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.

The only one that matters in the current reality. Yes
Not really, no. Your ahistoric approach to politics where you only think of the specific immediate moment is how we got here, and that thinking is how we stay here.
There are plenty of viable alternatives with a decent organisational structure already. One way to help them grow is to vote for them, and that is better use of a vote than wasting it on fascist genociders.
How did that third party vote work last time. Or the time before that. Or the time before that....etc etc etc.
Your fantasy vision is not reality. It is your fantasy. And your inability to see the difference is incredibly dangerous
This thread is so old there is no longer an audience and you yourself are clearly beyond reason, so I will not waste my time writing more responses to you in this thread.
Worked quite a bit better than voting for genociders, considering how you have to pretend to give a shit, AIPAC has become radioactive, everyone keeps bringing me not voting for a genocider up as the reason the genocider lost - thus actually making a demand of the candidates.
Tell me, how has it worked voting for someone marginally less aesthetically shit than the other guy? Have conditions improved or are you now at a spot where not even genocide is a red line for your candidate?
