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.

I don't understand. We're bush, Nixon, Reagan and trump the lesser of 2 evils? I'm pretty sure they're the cause of the current MAGAstan government.
Maybe OP is just starting highschool?
If OP is more than 2 years old, should be able to remember that the current government was not the lesser of 2 evils when it was elected. Don't need to look farther into history.
What is your source for the Clintons "convincing" Trump to run? According to Politico "What the sources from both camps agreed upon, however, was that Clinton did not urge Trump to run. " https://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/report-bill-clinton-talked-with-donald-trump-as-he-was-considering-white-house-run-121052

From that article: "an aide to Clinton said the 2016 race was never specifically discussed and that it was only a casual chat." The closest thing in the article to Clinton encouraging Trump to run is that they say the conversation was "upbeat."
I feel like you are reading too much into that.
And we feel like you are not reading into it enough. It's one big club and we ain't in it.
That last one is the stupidest shit imagineable. But but but genociiide ya think fucking trump is gonna stop that?
It didn't matter what Trump did or did not do. The fact is that you allowed the Democrats to keep doing it, and then to reward them for their bad behavior, you decided to try to elect them again. That's how US politics has become so fucking dysfunctional. You reward bad behavior.
I'm not american. Go lecture elsewhere
I'll remind you that you're in my space
You own late stage capitalism?
Yes as a matter of fact, I created it and those that can read rules that I laid out are welcome to stay. Those that can't gotta go
