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.

How are you going to push candidates that you don't have the votes to confirm? And how are you going to push RBG out?
Obama had a supermajority and did fuck all with it. He let himself be hamstrung by the republicans and jerked off about "bipartisanship" - just like every other dem has been doing. RGB was convinced to stay in her seat so she could give it up under Hillary Clinton. She then decided to officiate a wedding under Trump where she got COVID and died like the dumbass she was.
Obama didn't have a supermajority when a SC seat opened up under his administration.
No I live in the one where they had one and did fuck all with it.
You will never see the democratic party change. Voting for genociders only helps entrench genociders. Vote third party.
So the ACA, ARRA, Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2009, Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Credit CARD Act of 2009, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, SCHIP, and the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act were fuck all. Roger that, shipmate.
That's not even to mention the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which was passed without a supermajority.
Correct. These things were functionally fuck all.
I wish I lived in the reality where they have supermajorities all the time.
