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.

Why didn't Biden prosecute Trump for insurrection from Jan. 6th? He still believes you need a Republican party at all, like we need people further right than the Democrats. They could have prevented this entire situation by going after the organizers, of Trump stealing documents alone. But they slow walked us into this.
Nancy Pelosi - we need a strong Republican party
Now I missed that one. Wasn't that after her husband was attacked?
Don't forget Obama doing the same thing now
The Pandora box. Once an American president is truly held accountable. Every president can be held accountable.
Because the executive branch doesn't have the power to prosecute anyone. The legislature tried to impeach Trump over Jan6 but that was blocked by Republicans. The classified documents case was slow-walked by a Trump loyalist judge until he was reelected and became immune from prosecution. The law did go after the organizers and many were hauled only to be pardoned by Trump. Democrats did all the law allowed.
You're getting confused by the good cop bad cop routine they got going on. The bad cop slaps you and the good cop comes in an gives you and ice pack. They both want to railroad you into confessing to a crime you didn't commit. Twenty years later they're going to be laughing it up retired at 55 on a taxpayer funded pension, fishing together and going to each other's kids' wedding while you're still in prison for a crime you didn't commit.
That's what they're doing, the good cop saying aw man he doesn't need to be so mean, but twenty years later both parties' politicians are incredibly wealthy and youre making less than you made in 90s in real dollars.
It always boils down to a conspiracy theory with you people
I mean yeah chuck schumer is the top democrat and literally nobody in the country is happier about trumps iran war than him. It's a big club and you ain't in it.
Imagine looking past Lindsay Graham or Pete Hegseth and settling on Church Schumer as the real bloodthirsty warmonger. Delusional.
Hegseth doesn't care at all about Iran personally, he's just taking orders from trump, schumer is fulfilling a lifelong dream
You are mistaking Schumer for Graham. The idea of Schumer as a warmonger is just bizarre.
No I'm not mistaking shit: https://www.commondreams.org/news/chuck-schumer-step-aside
From your own link.
Schumer does NOT support the Iran war.
Vocally, exactly. Then he votes to fund the weapons being fired in the same war.
The same war he voted to end. It's not just vocal
I know man it's the oldest trick in the book, symbolic votes they know won't pass. They get all the politicians who need campaign help on that issue to vote for it, knowing full well they'll get enough votes to shut it down.
He isn't up for election for another 2 years when he will be 77. He doesn't give a fuck about reelection. Sometimes a vote is just a vote.
Yeah and then he says is job is to make the left pro-israel but oh he voted on something he knew wasn't going to pass what a mensch
