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.

Currently, a 3rd party vote IS a protest vote. Because it is a vote against the only person that could have stopped trump.

ALL third party voters knew they were voting for someone that has a barely above zero chance to win..

So it was a protest- a throwaway vote. Regardless of how you want to sell it, no matter how loudly you scream from the hills.

The throwaway vote is the ones that were blindly cast for right wing Republicans that called themselves liberal

So you’re saying that seventy five million people are wrong and threw away their vote for the one person that had a chance to stop trump……

While you’re right about your idea to vote for someone that had an almost zero chance to win?

Care to explain this?
