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.

To make a steelman argument: frequently proposed reforms include eliminating the spoiler effect, which would force politicians to compete for best instead of second worst.
You are a traitor to the cause of harris-biden '28! OFF WITH THEIR HEAD
I'm hardly one to fall into the 'both sides' argument because, let's face it, one side is clearly far worse than the other. And hell, as your northern neighbour, I'm frankly more interested in the the fact that I see the same kind of crap happening up here, but...
When one of the supposed good ones on the so-called better side get's caught on mic saying that they're "used to hearing their people say fuck no, and doing it anyway", it's clear that modern politicians in general (In both the US, Canada, UK, etc... I dare say everywhere, have gotten cocky and forgotten who they work for.
And we're past the point where a little bit of the ol' ultra-violence is becoming necessary.
Yes! Vote often! Vote violently! But not so violently you tear the paper, because that might void your ballot.
