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.

Lol wtf is Harris doing here?
Representing the planned opposition that is nearly the entirety of the Democratic party.
No she has to loose to Trump again. It's the only way to be sure. Never be different, let's just try it again
Let's get Clinton back. It's her turn!
Gross
We forgetting something? Doesn’t matter who the Dems shove out there, Trump can’t run again.
Should I draft up a list of all of the Amendments of the US Constitution that have been ignored over the past 13 months?
Don’t concede any ground. There’s no need to make it any easier on them.
Saying that he may (probably will) illegally run is not conceding ground. It's preparing for the future. If you nievely assume he's just going to follow the law then you will be unprepared for when he doesn't.
Old man time will veto it, there will be a succession sooner or later, that is our shot to take it back in the infighting if we can get a real candidate, a popular aggressive one because they will be cheating every way they can, which is a lot.
You're right. Acting like him trying for 3rd term is an inevitability is how his dumb fuck ideas get normalized.
At this point I can only conclude that the dnc want a third trump. Though, I guess that tracks, they can continue plundering and getting aipac money and doing fuck all while saying ‘eeeehhhhh we’re soooooo powerless what are we suppppoooosedddd to dooooo!?’
Polls like this look are based on name-recognition. Harris is the first (and only) name a lot of people will come up with when asked "who should be the Democratic candidate?"
She doesn't seem interested (she hasn't been working on keeping her name in the news like Newsom has), so she'll fall off the polls as other people climb.
