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.

Yeah, this doesn't track
I voted for Nader in 2000 who ran on a platform of getting corporate money out of government. After 8 years of being mad at Clinton for defunding welfare, NAFTA and bombing folks (though still thankful we weren't in the nightmare of the Gulf War,) I felt the difference between Gore and Bush JR wasn't enough and I needed to let the corporate Democrats know they need to work for my vote.
I also thought there was no way Bush would get elected 'cause he was obviously dumb as a brick, and his daddy was a nightmare that oversaw Iran/contra affair and the failure that was Gulf War. Gore ran on maintaining the balanced budget and was concerned about global warming
Bush won, bringing about: Record debt Homeland security TSA Iraq War 2 Afghanistan War Repeal of environmental protections SUVs Freedom Fries Cancelling musicians for even slight protest of government 2008 crisis
