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 don’t know everything about the guy, but Colonel Vindman was the whistleblower in the first Trump administration. He seems like an honorable dude to me.
It’s possible he’s very corporate friendly. I don’t know. He’s more than just some random Democrat though.

Vindman just voted yea on a bill that requires teachers to out trans students to abusive parents.
EDIT: Wrong Vindman. His brother Eugene voted to out trans kids to abusive parents. Alex did not.
So just another fascist.
Do you have a news article about that? Last I saw he isn’t an elected official, only running for office (as the Wikipedia article I linked describes).
Let’s hope you’re just confusing him for someone else because your comment is reprehensible otherwise.
So, I was thinking of Eugene Vindman, not Alex Vindman. My mistake.
All good. Thank you.
Yeah, I don't know a heck of a lot about the primary matchup but letting people pick their candidate in a primary instead of deciding for them seems reasonable.
And of all the candidates, a military guy who came forward and nearly got trump impeached seems like a decent one to offer. I remember watching his testimony and being quite impressed.
OP's framing seems disingenuous at best.
Context, the wiki says he basically sparked the first impeachment by exposing the Ukraine deal.
