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.

Who said anything about not voting? Liberals have locked themselves into a binary system of oppression that they claim to oppose
Ok, are you proposing to vote? For whom?
Literally whomever isn't a genocidaire
Ok. If the top two candidates both qualified as a "genocidaire" to you, what would you do? Vote third party? Not vote?
Both candidates literally have been genocidaires in the last 2 elections. And I voted my conscience. But I also acknowledged that my vote is not where my power to change things lies, because literally every choice I could make led to genocide in my name on my dollar. There was no choice I could make that would change anything. Not least of which because I am in a blue state that has so rarely voted Republican in the presidential election that the electoral college made my vote statistically impotent. But I live in a very red district of that blue state and I voted my conscience there as well acknowledging that literally nothing would change because my position was share by so few people that even if every single one of us came out to vote it wouldn't change a damn thing. The solution is not at the ballot box.
You can vote and pursue change through other means-- which it looks like you have done. The only losing move is to not participate in the election at all.
I said 'vote the lesser evil' you opposed. So I'd say you said that.
