That's one of those general election issues where they only pull out of storage just before the general election. Like gay rights, abortion, wages. And fold them up neatly and stow them away until the next general election.

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.

Do you know what government powdered milk tastes like? What it feels like to put back food because you don't have enough food stamps? I'm not talking EBT, I'm talking the actual paper stamps. Do you know what it's like as a child watching your mother cry because they don't know if there's gonna be money for rent? The struggles I and my family faced 50 years ago are still being felt by families with the exact same struggles today. In that same time there have been 24 years of Democrats in office and not a god damned thing has changed except now the struggle is harder. So you can fuck off with that 'have never known hard times' bullshit. It's shitlibs like yourself that are comfortable and are willingly blind to the privileges you hold under the status quo despite it causing harm to the working class.
