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.

They voted for the ones who voted for the ones who voted for the ones though…

At some point the populace is responsible for who they voted into power and didn’t petition for the checks and balances.

No, I did not. Do not imply that I did and threaten to nuke me because of what other people I have no control over did.

You voted for someone who voted this person in.

Yes you do have control, you just forgot to exercise it, or let you voted constituent go free. Did you ever write to one? Or change your vote once you found out what they did? There is always ways to fix what your voted constituent did. Problem is, the voted people removed those and you let them.

If I did vote for someone who voted this person in, I really didnt have another option that wasn't worse, and yes I do write to my elected officials. Youre just assuming I don't because you have no faith that anyone in this country is actually fucking advocating for themselves, and its really frustrating to see people like you, going around saying those of us who ARE ACTUALLY FUCKING FIGHTING ARE NOT.
