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, 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.

"They'll find a way around it" is not an excuse for allowing corruption to continue.
Even if all this does is make it harder and less convenient to fuck people over, it's worth it and not only should they do it. Every fucking state should.
No, but this isn't meant to solve anything either, just make it look like they're doing something. Healthcare can never work in an insurance system or the current employer funded healthcare system. It can only work as a right for all, just like fire departments. Your health effects others as we see so well with major epidemics and pandemics. But our current system only supports people just enough so they can do work and as soon as they stop, too bad. Without that co crept changing, none of this kind of pandering is going to ever make a difference. Even the ACA and state laws are mostly coopted when it comes to employer funded health plans that are only governed by federal employee benefits laws, which are very minimal, not health insurance laws since it's not an insurance policy.
