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.

The money-people LOVE you thinking liberals are gutless and both parties are the same, because then you don't think about the real problem, that getting elected to major office today without sucking the dicks of corporations is nearly impossible.
Repeal Citizens United.
No they don't. They love you to believe the opposition party - which they control - is a desirable alternative to the incumbents, because this allows them to impose discipline over both party organs.
BoTh PaRtIeS aren't the same... but they are both anti-labor and pro-corp.
Otherwise, they're for sale. Depending on what you'd like, one could cost you more than the other. Many are making millions using their office... openly. Imagine what is not reported.
Independents are now over 40% of registered voters... Ds and Rs are dipping below 30% each.
Good. As long as it leads to repealing Citizens United and further finance reform so corporations aren't calling the shots. Politicians are afraid to say no to corps because they need the funding to stay in office.
But 44% of independents lean Democrat and 33% who lean Repub, which is reflected in their voting. I only registered Democrat myself so I could vote in the primaries.
The real problem is that capitalism is unstable/unsustainable. Liberals maintain it. Conservatives use its instability to enrich themselves at everyone else's expense.
