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.

There are definitely plenty of Democratic missteps regarding immigration. I will not argue with you on that.
But if were an immigrant in the U.S, there's no doubt in my mind who I'd be voting for. One side is trying to expand legal pathways to citizenship, allow families that are in the U.S. to remain, and avoid punishing children who have only ever known a home that's been in the U.S.
The other group is rounding up immigrants to be sent to Alligator Alcatraz or prisons in El Salvador.
Does one option seem slightly better to you? Or would you agree with the OP, that both sides are equally terrible and it's just too hard to choose?
I'm not sure if OP believes they are equally terrible. Perhaps they just believe that the Democrats just fuel fascism more then fight it. That's what I believe. I'm not living in the US, but I wonder if voting for a left party would be a better option, even if they are small in comparison.
