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.

Vocally, exactly. Then he votes to fund the weapons being fired in the same war.

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
