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.

Surely when there is such an outrageous way to interfere in a country's elections, some foreign actors will definitely try to take advantage of it (and thank US for making their job to easier). To put another way, with such mechanisms in place, only way foreign powers does not try to influence elections is if foreign countries don't care about the elections in US (and we know better).
Russia and china would rely on half truths and propaganda to do it. Israeli lobby simoly pay hundred of millions to politicians to influence elections. It is not the same
Information is as powerful as money. I am guessing you can probably blackmail some politicians into submission by threatening to release to the world, say, their pedophilic affairs.
Trump would have still supported Israel even without those files.
No, he wouldn't. He tried to tell the world about the Hannibal Directive, and had an attempt on his life by Iran wink wink for it. Now he pulls out chairs for Bibi and gets a personal visit every time Bibi needs more aircraft carriers in the region.
LOL zionist lie when they open their mouth.
But thanks for you 2 shekels input hasbara man.
How the hell is it hasbara to say that zionists are paying american politicians so they can support genocide?
Not interested in your petty ass going trough my history to comments something negative, especially since you fail to back up your BS claims.
What a sad loser.
stop replying then and move on, you have nothing to offer anyway.
An idiot is a a loser who makes claims and can't back up his BS and has to resort to insults.
Weak, and even more pathetic than you already were.
