Almost like there’s one party and the “actual” parties are just Punch and Judy.

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 mean, from the outside looking in, sorry dude absolutely not. Punch or Judy or one of them anyway has lost their fucking mind and even though they do not differ on economic policy all that appreciably much they absolutely do differ on many very important things! Such as not dismantling the US economic and military empire, throwing immigrants in concentration camps, or actively threatening the sovereignty of NATO allies. If you are American, you do a disservice to the world by pretending they are the same party. Sadly, the world cannot vote. It is up to Americans to elect a government that will not destabilize the entire planet. Please do the rest of us a solid thx!
Don't care. Bigger fish to fry. You can get healthcare next time.
Losing the race to the bottom isn’t the flex you think it is.
God bless AOC, Mamdani, and El-Sayed.
Go to hell, Joe, Hilary, and Kamala.
Okay have fun with the devolution of your nation into a fascist wasteland then
It’s on you, not me.
That's because there is no left and right. That's all for show. The real fight isn't the culture war, that's just a distraction. The real war is the class war. The only ones actually fighting the class war are the progressives. The only group whose interest is actually the citizens they represent and not just the elite are the progressives and if they get power they will show everyone how shit everything has been. That's the real threat.
Exactly.
Vote DSA or vote Green. A vote for a Republican or a "centrist" is wasted.
vote Green
But we still have two more years before Jill Stein emerges from her cocoon
You mean her Russian nesting doll?
she's not in a cocoon. she's out doing actual activism.
Well if she's the face of the Green Party as their presidential candidate three times, she might want to try doing some actual politics
the media could stop icing her out
They could, but why would they do something so counter to their owners' financial interests?
Wishcasting for a media apparatus that will provide an even playing field isn't much of a strategy either.
I'm just going to keep backing candidates that I like
DNC and republicans have the same masters. We should just stop wasting our time talking to the "assistant managers" that are either party and just talk to AIPAC directly.
"The third way" almost always means fascism.
Third way trying to comment a war where none exist
YES, MAKE THOSE LIBERAL CENTRIST COWARDS FIGHT. FORCE THEM TO SQUANDER EVERYTHING STRUGGLING IN VAIN.
gee I wonder if that money could be better spent, like declaring war against, I don't know...maybe Trump? Just an idea.
But no go ahead and spend all that money to ease your fears of losing your seats. How much of that money comes from Zionist lobbies and weapon manufacturers btw?
They won't declare war on him because they condone his actions
