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.

If Dems are so bad then why did they shutdown the government to save ACA.

Oops someone didn’t hear the senate passed the budget with the ACA cuts.
Hey hey hey! The crossed the aisle to create a historic bipartisan agreement to reopen it!
Checks notes: ah yes, see? Brilliant negotiations! The gop got everything, and the dems got assurance that they will have a vote on the aca benefits! I mean, the vote will just be no, but come on, what skill! Truly, no one could have squeeze more from the deal!
the repubs got more than their initial ask: delta 8 THC is outlawed and now states cannot use alternative funding to pay out SNAP benefits in the future when this inevitably happens again.
I wait… what???
The dems are truly masters of the art of the deal. All it took was a little bit of immiseration and they got some votes and an excuse to let the republicans set up their plan to cut welfare. They didn’t even have to miss thanksgiving.
The DNC and gop were getting nervous as the ATC was calling out sick and worst, resigning.
That news disagrees with their dogma, so it's fake news.
the DNC saw it as a sacrificial lamb, just because the recent elecitons had all DEM wins, they are hoping to ride out that honeymoon til the 26th. besides the 8 that supported the end of the shutdown, there were 13 other dems that are up for re-election next year.
They didn't shut down government to save the ACA, they shut down government to win a couple of elections. Thousands of federal employees went over a month without pay so they could win a couple of elections. They denied SNAP benefits to 42,000 people so they could win a couple of elections. And now that those elections are over, they have voted to reopen government with absolutely none of their demands being met.
And Bernie Sanders can go fuck himself. He is nothing but a sheep dog to the fascist oligarchy
What is it you do like? You seem to hate everything
Take a look at their post history and it will make more sense. My guess is they'd rather see America give up and fail already because surely their idealized government will then rise from the ashes.
American voters have already given up
Just Democrats and Republicans. Mostly Democrats Because Republicans don't pretend to care. Democrats will call themselves an ally while embracing you as they shove a knife in your back. Anyone paying half attention would realize that Democrats cannot be trusted.
You're not the person I asked unless you forgot to switch alts, but you also didn't answer the question. What is it you (and the other guy) do like?
Seeing that you are in a communist space what do you think we would like? Communists dont support liberals or thier red fascist counterparts. And liberals would rather defend fascism than support the working class
Because they shutdown the government because people were clamoring for some semblance of resistance, and there was an election coming up. They capitulated as soon as they could after the polls closed.
