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, 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.

MODERATORS
Given they absolutely do not fully leverage what power they have when they have it, I fail to see how giving them more power consistently over the years would have changed anything. They're sponsored by the same corporate interests as the Republicans.
They're basically the same party, but with a nicer face. They're the good cop to the bad cop, but they're both cops. You're not going to get improvement if you just keep electing the nice cops. They're still just cops.
If you're not allergic to data, take a look at the last time Democrats controlled all three branches of government and everything they accomplished in that short span of time. Then when you're done with that eat shit for echoing russian propaganda without even the tiniest bit of verification.
Like the ACA which was going to be universal healthcare originally until they decided to try working with the Republicans who gutted it then not vote for it?
Edit: Let's not forget they were opposed to gay marriage until it started getting more support, it was Al Gore and his wife behind the movement to censor and control music produced, Biden supported more funds for police as well as military equipment in addition to making student loans harder to discharge. Yeah, the Dems have done a great job thus far, can't wait to see how they status quo at best more.
You don't get it. Here's how it works.
