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, anti-communism, 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.

Ok. What’s going to work? Seriously, tell us a strategy. Because bitching on social media is not a strategy. Third party clearly not a strategy. What’s the plan, chief?
Grass roots party funded by the people and truly for us. Because big money isn't going to allow anyone to fundamentally change the system. Elect independent individuals into local and state governments as well who will work to remove first past the post and put in ranked choice voting. Again, expecting any of the big money parties to make change is the definition of insanity.
Ok good luck with your by-and-for-the-people party
You could have said you were a conformist jerk and been done with it. Saved me the trouble of thinking you actually cared.
I’ve been hearing about parties for the people, for peace, for love, all coming together for the greater good my entire life. And it just ain’t gonna happen like that. Too many variables, too many viewpoints, too much skewed power and gaming the system. Lesser of two evils is all we’re going to get. So choose your battles strategically and pick a candidate who can push society forward a few inches. There are no miracle candidates and no revolutions coming.
Ahh so you're just a nihilist then. Again, you save people a lot of time if you say these things out loud then first of all so we know you won't be arguing in good faith.
Nope, keep guessing
