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. 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,' etc.

Wait I thought that disappointment was just Russian disinformation? /s

I don’t know what you’re trying to say with this. Pushing democrats further left and republicans further right and convincing both groups to not compromise is the Russian strategy and your statements are in line with that whether you have the same intentions or not.

So they looked at what's unpopular and stayed with it. What an amazing strategy the dnc did

No, they were voted into office after a period of high spending from the pandemic and low revenue from tax cuts for the rich. Along with the supply chain problems from the pandemic this caused inflation.

This means that interest rates had to be increased by the federal reserve to reduce the amount of borrowing and reduce inflation which is only controlled by the federal reserve and not any political party.

From the perspective of the average citizen prices were high and most didn’t know why. Republicans propaganda blamed democrats and the average citizen that didn’t understand why believed it and voted accordingly.

Now you are continuing that republican propaganda by blaming the DNC.

The DNC also compromised on immigration because voters from both parties felt strongly about it and that is the job of a politician to do what the voters want.
