Trump is symbolic of the rot that is US government.

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.

Tell me you don't know shit about how the US elections work without telling me you don't know shit about how the US elections work.
In a general election, there are exactly 2 candidates who have a chance of becoming president. Just 2. You can tout 3rd parties all day long, but there are never going to be enough people voting for one for that to be viable. So, you can stick your thumbs in your ears, shout "LALALALALA", and vote for the 3rd-party candidate who your conscience favors, with the result that the worst person has a better shot of becoming president, or you can put your big boy pants on and vote for the only person who has a shot of winning that is not going to plunge the country into a fascist dictatorship.
Harm reduction. You think Kamala Harris would have opened dozens of concentration camps or sent ICE into cities to antagonize and terrorize people? You think she'd have appointed dipshits to every single cabinet position and appointed a Russian spy to be the fucking director of national intelligence? You think she'd have sued the IRS and forced them to agree to set up a 1.8 billion dollar fund to pay out to traitors?
No. Of fucking course she wouldn't. Harm fucking reduction.
She and her party may not have sent troops into the city but they built up and funded ICE which allowed trump to do so. Democrats always build the foundations for Republicans to commit behind against the working class. We have 69 cop cities across the US with cops being trained by ID Fucking F because of Biden and Co. Harris wanted the world most lethal military and was hawkish on bombing Iran.
Liberal "lesser of two evils" & "harm reduction" relies on constantly fearing a hypothetical "worse" future so you won't spend time thinking about the already terrible present. Keeping you always asking for the potential of something better later instead of demanding better NOW
