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, 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.

What gets me is how much a Democrat supporter will argue circular logic with you to the ends of the Earth. Not because your vote matters, but their narrative does. I live in a deep red state, not single vote of mine has mattered from local to national elections but boy do neo-liberals try to get me to believe the blue lie.
Not sure what the lie is. They're better, but not great. Pretty simple really. But if you don't matter then why are you getting involved in any political discussion?
Ahh so marginalize people even more who are already marginalized by not letting them discuss issues? That's your answer there?
Welll if they're just going to try to convince people to indirectly support maga, then no, I don't want to hear that ignorance.
There's not a damn bit of difference between BlueMAGA like yourself and MAGA. The party you are supporting has directly led us to where we are right now. Fascism does not form in a vacuum, it requires the help of a complicit liberal party.
If the Dems were in power now the entire world would be in a much better place. I'm not sure how you can possibly not see that. But they simply don't have the seats in either house to stop the fascists (especially considering the non-dem dems). They don't have power mostly because too many idiotic Americans fell for Trump's crap, but also because too many leftists failed to vote against him and the magas. Of course Dems are still beholden to the billionaires, and it would be great to primary out a bunch and get younger progressives in there. But they are so much better than trump/maga and if you don't see that, you are being willfully ignorant.
THERE IT IS!
You like it when people support trump/maga from a position of ignorance?
Nope, the false dichotomy bullshit.
To elaborate, you conflate not liking the Dems with liking MAGA when it's not the case. You can't conceive people disliking your slightly less conservatism with anything else other than MAGA. You're incapable of thinking of a left side far beyond the Democrats you're so far in yourself.
We may not like it, but we're stuck with a two party system in the U.S. so when you fail to vote for one party, you are supporting the other. If you truely believe that the Dems are just as bad as maga or just don't care about pedophile support, wars to distract, ruining international alliances, destroying environmental controls, trans rights, loss of international soft power, destroying international trade, etc., then you are saying that yes you support maga intentionally by not voting usefully against them. You can like more progressive ideals and fight like hell in the primaries, but if you don't vote usefully against maga in the elections, then you are part of the problem.
Yeah the parties can never change that's why this next election I'm voting straight Federalist..
Too smart for the people who need to understand it I fear.
What do you mean it doesn't look like anything at all
Whither nuance?
Works the same for all the crap people argue about on the internet. Sorry but you can't solve these social issues by accumulating ethical purity karma.
ITT: Democrat voters who are very upset that maybe they're wrong
