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.

Seems like you have to be pretty fucking stupid in order to run a campaign that has you losing to Trump, and yet the dems have managed to do it twice.
People dont vote for democrats because they suck and voting for them either does nothing or actively makes things worse.
That, or being attacked from two sides. Or maybe americans just like trump. Enjoy the 2 dollars gas.
Lmao, if the "attacks" from the left (people saying they won't vote for someone committing a genocide) is what Kamala lose, then maybe she should've listened to what people were saying. Which again means she sucked, just like Hillary.
Thankfully that stopped the genocide and now the middle east is free and prosperous.
Or did it cause a new war, more conflict, even more genocide and spilled over to other regions?
I'm sure the parents of the dead Iranian girls are very thankful for your service.
All your talking points are so clichéed I can just dismiss them with a link
Nearly three times. Biden only won by 40k votes across three states. Anyone who thinks he was a lock could have been proven wrong by some bad weather or a marginal (.3%) shift in public sentiment.
Spineless democrats is what caused trump to win both times
By definition, voters caused that. Enjoy the consequences, I guess. In 6 years they will vote for republicans again anyway.
Democrats don't really have clear messaging. Are we pro Muslim? Are we pro LGBT? Are we pro Marxism? Pro working class? Where do we stand on taxes? Equality? DEI? At this point I could tell you a lot more about what we're against.
I like how the replies to this message are almost identical, starting word for word the same. Some needs to increase the temperature a little bit.
Being against burning the country and all alliances just to make 6 people rich is enough of a message for me Ina 2 party system. As a bonus on top, not hating mexicans, muslims and gays. I know it sounds like a low bar, but bar is very much that low.
Democrats have a very clear message, they speak volumes by their inaction
Democrats have a very clear message. What they support is obvious.
What caused the president to win, was forcing uneectable candidates on the dems and then shouting down all criticism of them, as if pretending they aren't worthless worked.
Get off your high horse, we knew what the republicans were, and what the democrats were, and we trusted the opposition to what is beyond any doubt the Controlled Opposition of the Oligarchy.
Anyone with a brain would've known anointed kamala with no contest was handing the election to the now president. Everyone. Oh, you weren't one? What does that say about your understanding?
No offense but I don't want to wade through your shit again forcing another doomed to fail dem on us.
What caused the president to win is people voted for him. After 4 years of scandals, corruption and a million deaths. Appealing to "anyone with a brain" is a losing strategy.
I like how this comment appears to be bait for Americans with three braincells
I love seeing this shit before every election.
It's there all the time, you just don't notice when popular media hasn't primed your brain to tune into politics every two years.
I am very interested in politics year around, and as a small reminder: the world exists out of america, each country with their own elections. The two year cycle is just in the US. There's also popular media outside of the us.
And yet you dont pay enough attention to notice these things outside the US election cycle
Says a random person online. Cool story.
