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.

Spoiler: Democratic politicians wanted 80% of what Trump did. The 20% they didn't want was all him going after his democratic enemies ... but they take the bad with the "good".

Then why are the republicans spending all their time undoing democratic initiatives.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Because that's the game they play.

Because the orange kid-diddler got his feeling hurt by the black president and has been actively undoing anything possible

That is how the ratchet works. Republicans go insane when they take office and make cuts to everything except military spending, then dems get in and cut military spending ... then feel like a bit of a calm after the storm. Dems dont reverse anything Republicans did ... eventually Republicans get back in and around we go again.
