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
We're talking about Trump right now, and not Bush, even though our forever wars always start under Republicans.
Trump disbanded USAID. That has killed hundreds of thousands around the globe. That, alone, should be the single most obvious difference that you talk about. Like, pretend that there wasn't a push for a ceasefire in Gaza, something that Kamala talked about constantly, or that there was some reason that Kamala would go to war with Iran. I will strongman this argument to all heck...
No Democrat would EVER DISBAND USAID. None of them. There's no reason to. And that killed hundreds of thousands on its own. Right?
MONEY PIT: The Monstrous Failure of US Aid to Afghanistan
What Democrats did with USAID was worse that disbanding it.
Moving the goal posts. Again. They would not have killed hundreds of thousands and you know it and refuse to admit it because you are unable to accept you are wrong.
Do you care about political violence or not? Do you care about people or not? Because it looks like you don't. It looks like you are okay with others dying if it somehow punishes the people you think it should punish, and it doesn't even do that right. I am sad for you, a performative leftist, because you are so easy to see through.
When presented with evidence, you shut down. You've been conditioned to give this response. If you're genuinely interested in the truth, I would suggest not to call providing sources "moving the goal post". Because at the end of the day, this response is exactly how the oligarchs keep you in line.
Every person has motives. Every rational person acts in their own self preservation. Capitalistic Oligarchs, red or blue, will maximize their control for capital. They do it because they must. The electorate votes for things they have been told are good, most will never understand the nuances of what I just said. Perhaps you are different?
