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.

All they got from the Heritage Foundation was the idea of the individual mandate which is hardly an original idea as it is shared by nearly all healthcare policies of developed countries.
Objectively false. Democrats have been fighting Project 2025 tooth and nail.
Fighting so hard they pushed a candidate whose internal polling never showed they would beat trump. Fighting so hard they had no alternatives for it. BlueMAGA is as deranged as MAGA
You blame them for not fighting Project 2025 before it was implemented. That shows how nonsensical your opposition is. Read some history. People like you who fight potential allies instead of allying with them against fascism are exactly what enables fascism to win.
Edit: then again, I'm increasingly thinking that fascists winning is exactly your goal.
Democrats are never allies. Democrats will betray the working class every single chance they get. The Democrats do not want allies, they want people that will do as they're told. Which is why they get unhinged whenever they're told no.
They knew what was in Project 2025 before it was implemented. They knew what it was in it when it was drafted. And their only solution was vote with the guy with spaghetti for brains.
So you don't understand our first past the post electoral system, you don't understand how to stop fascism, you don't understand politics in general, and you don't understand how much you are embarrassing yourself with your ignorance right now.
I understand that first past the post means whoever wins first, wins. The only thing preventing a non oligarch from winning is voters. But voters are terrified of losing the privileges that the status quo provides them.
You can't stop fascism if you don't recognize it
Centrism enables fascism. Liberalism enables fascism.
A vote for either fascist is the spoiler
The only thing that enables fascism is infighting among non-fascists. Instead of pointing fingers at everyone else, look in the mirror. Your politics vs my politics are irrelevant. All that matters is beating fascism.
You enable fascism, therefore can't be nonfascist
You refuse to fight fascism beside me, so you enable fascism.
Again, you are not fighting fascism, you are enabling it.
Again, you don't know the definition of fascism.

Similar things happened in Spain. Either accept Democrats as allies against fascism, or enable fascism. Those are the only choices.
