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.

I think it misses the point that while previous rhetoric may have been overblown what we are seeing now is at a different level.
I don't think it misses that point because that context is irrelevant and outside the bounds of this meme. Charlie will try to kick the football. Progressives will vote for Democrats. Democrats will remain an institutionalist and incrementalist party. Corporate Donors will change their handjob gloves to match whatever party is in power.
Ah, might as well just give up then
You can do what you want but that is not the point of the comic.
