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.

Make sure you give democrat politicians your assurance that you will vote for them no matter what their policies are, giving them literally no reason to appeal to you at all
Def get that frustration, Dems are not here to help us or anyone but the rich.
However - rather than not vote, go vote 3rd party. If voting is low effort for you (it isn't always...), that's a tiny but legible stamp of "nah fuck this".
Whereas non-voting in the US is only seen by the powers that be as "guess they're fine with either of us lmao, must not be too unhappy, hell yeah, may the great grift roll on!"
Send the signals ya mean, folks. Silence is not a signal.
Part of the problem with the Democrats is their infighting. Even if a Democratic candidate appeals to you and you like his policies, most of the time it doesn’t mean his policies are going to get passed or even introduced to get voted on.
The one thing Republican party has is its members solidarity and consistently voting as a block the last 30 years.
The main difference between the two parties is one is run on feelings and no policy and the other runs on watered-down corporate policy passed along as the status quo.
Both parties produce poor quality legislation for the country that is deliberately flawed in slightly different ways.
Leftists aren't liberals, it's not "infighting" because, as much as you insist, we aren't DNC vassals
Your comment makes no sense. When did I mention anything about leftists or liberals? What do you even mean about “we’re not assails of the DNC”. What does that have to do with the fact that Democrats have a hard time getting elected because of their shit policies and fighting on which policy is the right way to go forward.
