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.

Someone has to hold Democrats accountable, liberals sure as fuck dont. If they did someone like Trump would have never risen to power.

Trump rose to power because leftists were more worried about “holding democrats accountable” than stopping Trump

How did that work out last time? As long as there is an electoral college then you can’t hold people accountable.

If debbie wasserman schalz, hillary clinton, and the rest of establishment dems didn't screw Bernie Sanders out of the democratic nomination TWICE, we would have had universal healthcare and legal weed in all 50 states by now.

That would never have happened because the typical Democrat would have gotten in the way. It’s good to dream big but be realistic.

It worked out quite well, eventually it might force the DNC to rethink their methods protecting the status quo over the working class if they want to win elections.
