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.

Naw dawg you bought a trump by sitting on a pedestal.

It's all fun and games to build the perfect candidate, but it wasn't on the ballot.

Ignoring "harm reduction" just put thousands of trans and millions of immigrants right in front of the bulldozer. Own it from your ivory perch.

I guess you didn't hear anything about Harris throwing trans under the bus last week, did you? I guess you didn't hear anything about Harris having draconian immigration bills as harsh as what came from Republicans. Did you? I suppose you forgot it was Bidens ICE that was chasing down Haitians on horseback.

No matter what you can say about Harris, I don't support any of it. None of it was "as harsh" as trump. Get ready for Muslim ban 2.0, etc.etc.

What I can say is trump, and project 2025 have a whole lot more in store.

So Harris, while distasteful, was harm reduction by comparison

Project 2025 has been around for 40 years, going by various different names. It started out with contract with America and it's been expanding since. much of the legislation that has come out of all variations of project 2025 has been 100% bipartisan. Bipartisan politicians that are voting along with legislation written by the Heritage Foundation is not harm reduction. Somehow liberals seem to have this weird idea that it ban is so much worse than genocide and burning people alive.

Truth does that when folks plug their ears and make noise about it.

The answer isn't them. It's us. You. Me. Now. But go rant. That solves everything.
