I don't know anything about government since I went to American public schools.

BUT, I'm sure there's something they could do. It's weird how conservatives always get what they want whenever they want (and wealthy people) but everything else under the sun is never possible.

How fucking convenient.

That's either a problem with the system or our representative government and the way it functions within the system.

If the well runs dry, do you die of thirst or find another source of water? The American way seems to be that you're supposed to just sit and die of thirst with quiet dignity instead of walking to the stream a mile over to take a drink because it's owned by Joe Blow. Joe Blow's power over that land rests on the American government but they're all like 'sorry guys we didn't get enough votes to let you take a sip!'

But then they'll give Joe Blow power to take over every over stream in the county and then unanimously tell you to vote harder the next election in 2 years, and maybe then you'll get a jug.

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.
