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.

Same, that was about when I started emotionally preparing for 4 more years of Trump.
IMHO it was clear Trump would win 2024 when Biden was nominated in 2020. America demands change and corporate centrists will just enrage them more.
Yup. Trump won because of his bluntness, as well as his ability to successfully lie to very stupid people.
At the time, Biden was promising that he wouldn't run a second time, and let the primaries pick his hopeful successor. Unfortunately he went back on that promise
Because without fail, every ShitLib who espoused "vote for Biden and then we can push him left" was back at brunch before the inauguration.
Even if he hadn't run again, his refusal to deal with the real economic problems facing working class whites in flyover states handed them to Trump on a silver platter. "Nothing will fundamentally change" is unacceptable to a farmer losing everything, so they voted to burn it all down.
I figured Biden might lose to another Republican, but I underestimated Trump. During the Biden admin, Trump was doing a masterful job of “leading from the opposition.”
