Late Stage Capitalism
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.

Sorry, you were saying?
I don't disagree that the Democratic party should do more, but its disingenuous to ignore what (little) has been done
While yes, they are doing some things, it ultimately doesn't really matter. If someone's house is on fire and the firefighter goes in for a minute, comes back out having done nothing, and says "Hoo, that's hot - I'm out." they're not a good enough firefighter.
Like, yeah, it's hard to do what they signed up to do, but they're the ones who signed up to do it, and in the case of politicians, they specifically went around making promises to be people to do it in order to get the job in the first place. Things need to get done, and they're the ones occupying the position.
I'm not a politician - I don't know how hard the left needs to work in order to undo what the right has done, but I know that they said they'd do it, so I expect them to do it. Anything less makes them a liar at this point - we can't afford mulligans this late in the game.
Their strategy is failing and yet they both make zero changes and denounce anyone else from coming in to try something new. Regardless of whether it's incompetence or malice, we need them out so we can get someone better in.
More of his preformative bullshit?
Your point is that the party that isn't in power can't do anything, very insightful.
When they are in power they can't do shit
Something, even if you see it as performative, is better than nothing
It's less and worse than nothing. It gives most people an idea that somebody is doing something about it. Not fully understand that it amounts to nothing. So that they are conditioned into not demanding a drastic, impactful action.
Remember when Pelosi performed in Kinte Cloth and then nothing happened? We do.
sometimes its exactly equivalent to doing nothing.
