Late Stage Capitalism
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.

No, I don't want to drive home the idea that nothing changes, I want to change things, while you want to maintain the material conditions that led to the rise of this regime.
Best of luck driving voter turnout with that hogwash.
And they wonder why their comment was removed
Absolutely nothing is more urgent than ending the Trump regime.
Absolutely all of your rhetoric will keep, and can be cranked out after the elections are over.
Any mooing that you care to offer in terms of what you think should be done, does not require voter suppression rhetoric.
It really is that simple. Behave in a manner that helps Trump, or behave in a manner that helps dump Trump.
If nothing is more urgent, and toppling the regime requires voter turnout, then it would stand to reason that perhaps encouraging voter turnout is key? That seems self-evident to me. And the Democrats (and you) ain't gonna get it done by offering the same ol' same ol' that failed to generate turnout for Harris.
On the other hand, people could barely wait to vote for Mamdani.
Maybe there's a lesson there.
Getting rid of trump will change absolutely nothing. Liberals that talk like this act like changing a cog in the machine will change how the machine operates. Trump is a byproduct of 50 years of neoliberal politics , they need to be protesting the system that enables someone like Trump to rise, otherwise, the version you get of him next time will be 10 times worse than this one. Which is what leftist told liberals back in 2016 would happen if you allowed Trump to win his first term, And again in 2020 when we warned that the second term of trump would be 10 times worse than his first when you nominated a neoliberal old white guy that nobody wanted
Would that be the concentration camps where the Biden administration kept putting kids in cages you're talking about?
Or the concentration camps where the Obama and Biden administrations tortured innocent civilians from the middle east?
Or the concentration camps where more Democratic administrations than I care to name have condemned millions of mostly nonwhite Americans to forced labor in a constitutional exemption on slavery?
Don't leave out the concentration camp at Guantanamo
That's what I was thinking of with
Those things you call concentration camps are detention centers which Democrats LOVED building

And this proves you're blue MAGA. It's all just a sports game to you.
You want Trump out just for the sake of having Trump out. There's no plan beyond that. There's no accountability beyond that. It's all just "get their guy out and my guy in." Your goal isn't to exact certain policy goals, as otherwise that would be your number one priority. Personally, if Trump pulled a reverse Fetterman tomorrow, had a stroke, and suddenly became progressive, I wouldn't want him out of office. Getting him out is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
You have no actual plans or rebuttals aside from "orange man bad". You shame those who criticize the outcomes (or lack thereof) of liberals who wield power from this insanity. Trump alone is not fascism and his death or removal from office alone will not fix the conditions that allowed him and his sick depraved sycophants from getting into power in the first place.
I expect nothing of value back as a response. I hope you screech more about the concentration camps while simultaneously sucking on the boots of liberals who helped quietly build them. I hope you tell me to vote for more fettermans and sinemas who gleefully kneecap our progress while pointing at the over-the-top style of the GOP they act as a ratchet for. I hope you tell me to be thankful the boiling pot of water will only go up 1 degree instead of 5, and that making it go down in temperature is wishful thinking. I need to know that the "sane" folks like you have it all figured out and that's why my entire life has been American decline and end-stage capitalist hell. Just keep doing what we've been doing and it will be fine.
I'm trans, have trans friends, have immigrant friends, and date an immigrant trans woman I am desperately trying to protect. I hope that you, like so many liberals before you, tell me to "enjoy the camps". Show me those true colors.
I was right, nothing of value.
lol at quoting the entire comment of what you're replying to multiple times. I feel like you're just making their point more valid by saying it for them.
