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.

MODERATORS
Blocking unanimous consent on everything in the Senate until their demands are met would be nice.
Idk if you've noticed but almost everything is passing on party line votes. Bills only need a simple majority to pass the Senate and the House, and Republicams have a simple majority. Democrats have done a few successful filibusters to prevent bills from making to the vote, but it's not possible to do for every bill.
You don’t understand. I don’t mean a filibuster.
Daily business in the Senate operates under unanimous consent. That way, they avoid voting for things like setting schedules and super minor nonsense.
It takes only a single Senator to force votes on everything to grind the Senate to a halt.
This is the way, if you're one of the morons (or outright collaborators) who still thinks civility is important.
Bog eveything down with procedural bullshit. It's what Mitch would do.
I generally agree with that. That's a good step they should take. Assuming you're American, you should contact your Senator so they know their constituents want that.
