Yes, BUT, it's easier to infiltrate them with the people's politicians than it is the other side. If the people stop being idiots and stop voting for the Right, which doesn't even have the veneer of their interests on their policies, and only vote dem irrespective of how duplicitous they are, then the dem block can be broken up into middle managers vs actual leftists, and the overton window can start shifting back the other way, many years from now.

If your voting options are for Fiery Pits of Hell vs Endless Limbo, you vote Endless Limbo no matter how far from Heaven it happens to be right now.

And yeah, go and do things that might change the system. Just remember that not voting is not abstention: it's complicity in electing the Fiery Pits of Hell, by design.

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.
