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.

MODERATORS
The AOC at 7% is sort of confusing.
Personally I don't think the establishment would acknowledge her candidacy. And the maga terrorists would lose their collective minds if she was elected.
A democratic socialist, woman, youngest candidate in history, millennial, Puerto Rican, and probably a lot of other things they hate. I'm sure much like when they flipped their shit out over Obama, this would be much worse
Trump won by outraging leftists. I think outraging rightists is a viable strategy. We don't need to appeal to the right, we need to appeal to the people on the left who haven't been voting on the left. The people who showed up for Biden but not for Harris.
