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.

It can be both, but Israel is the greater threat. Because nearly all politicians are either openly taking up AIPAC money or they're doing the work for AIPAC for free. And Democrats by and large, take more contributions from AIPAC, From the last election cycle. Seven out of the top 10 were contributions to Democrats

Israel wants the shield of the USA and Russia wants the USA out of NATO essentially. We're in some seriously dangerous times.

They both seem like real problems though don't they? Also the links between Russia and Israel are pretty strong...

[–] vpol@feddit.uk 20 points 5 months ago

It’s absolutely both.

Zionism is a fundamentalist ideology that Israel is following. Zionism is not a religion it is an evil political fundamentalist ideology that claims supremacy of a particular race. Zionism justifies extermination, oppression, exploitation and apartheid of those people who do not ethnically align with their supremisist ideology to fulfill their imperial ambitions. As long as the United States keeps giving them a blank check at the expense of the American people this will only get worse as this cancer spreads. Nazism is similar to Zionism as it is a supremisist ideology that justifies imperialist expansion of the chosen “race” and the systematic extermination and dehumanization of a “race”of people deemed less than.

Actually, Russia is interfering with the US elections, it's called Donald Trump.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (35 children)

I'm sure Russia is interfering, too. Even while they are short of money, they know that every cent spent to buy an American politician is worth a dollar in return. And for some cases, they just use some compromat, so they are even cheaper.

Oh you mean the world that is controlled by the US would dare to lobby the US government. Tell me it ain't so. Here is a fucking idea, if you don't like it when someone puts their hand in your cookie jar don't go around putting your hand in everyone else's cookie jar.

Aka how dare they interfere with elections, only we are allowed to do that!

Two things can’t both be true at the same time.

[–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Both are and both should be dealt with

2 things can be true at the same time. I would not expect someone like op to be able to realize this though.

Look into any political person you're thinking about voting for. Call them out for taking this money and primary them

It is an absolute winning electoral strategy to invalidate the treasonous candidacy of any demonic zionazi warmongering genocidal subhuman piece of shit, with amplification that the more money they raise the more invalid their candidacy.

Platform shouldn't be wealth taxes, it should be the financial zeroing out of any candidate and financers of zionist supremacist rule over America.

We're all that wrestler with sunglasses movie from the 80s. The lizard people having constitutional protections to rule over us is the moral question of that movie.

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).
