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.

So far, after watching pedophiles coup the government and strip it for parts while conducting treasonous acts, the Democrats have:
-secrety had meetings between dem leadership and Jared Kushner
-funded AIPAC Republicans campaigns over non AIPAC DEMS
-said that if they win the midterms that they shouldn't impeach anybody, and we should work with the Nazi pedophile traitors.
-NOT provide funding to left candidates in FL (chuck Schumer).
-will NOT commit to abolishing the secret police stablished by pedophilic traitors to terrorize us.
-will NOT speak out against CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND BAN THEM.
-Jeffries, who takes Peter Thiel money, setup an AI regulatory committee with some other Dems that TAKE PETER THIEL MONEY
IDK, beyond words, can anyone show me actions that show that Democrats are actually an opposition party?
Do you have a source for this one?
Sure.

-Pay attention to the verbiage below. They funded MAGA to boost the Standard Dems' likability. Schiff did this to Katie Porter in CA as well. They specifically do this so progressives can't win

“AIPAC donors are single-issue donors,” said Doug Forand, a strategist working with the campaign of George Latimer, a Democrat whose challenge of progressive New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman has drawn more support from AIPAC than any other campaign this cycle.

Thanks!
Again the liberals think their lesser evil will result in change. It's all the difference of how much breaking the party is pushing out.

It's just a way to simplify a complex situation.
Americans aren't particularly politically savvy and have been taught their entire lives that the only acceptable way to enact change is through voting. Pointing out that Democrats at the national level often function as controlled opposition raises an extremely frightening possibility: that voting only creates a small amount of change on a handful of token issues and otherwise their government is largely is out of their control.
So they spin up the false dichotomy that pointing out how the tacit cooperation of both parties in undermining the rights of US citizens is somehow not suggesting that the population must take action in addition to the government-sanctioned method of civic engagement, i.e., voting, but is instead suggesting one not vote at all. It's frankly one of the most smooth-brained standpoints I regularly see on Lemmy, but American liberals seem to cling to it like a talisman against the discomfort that is the very real possibility that far more than voting will be required to enact the significant, lasting change that will stop their country from careening into fascism, and unlike voting, that type of action does not provide a clear path with simple instructions.
I think you responded to the wrong comment.
The weird need to other anyone who dares to critique the democratic party is not some simplification of a complex situation. Its an extension of russiagate and is now just some insane conspiracy where everyone who disagrees with bluemaga is subhuman (a bot) or a dastardly foreigner (subhuman), because no true person could ever dare point out Obama installed Tom Homan.
Don't like being called out, do you?
You guys really like to live up to your instance name, don't you .ml?
You're just doing the same thing again
Called out? Im neither russian, nor a bot.
In reality I just dont like to see people who are ostensibly "liberal" espouse insane jingoistic racism in response to someone disagreeing with them.
What do you think .ml has to do with anything?
And here come the blueanon McCarthyists to screech about how all their problems are the fault of evil foreigners
