When Biden sided with the railroads I lost the last shred of hope I had for the party.

What did they do? Run against him in primaries and let people vote for the other person?

Super delegates come to mind. They mostly sided with Hillary. Without the Superdelegates, Bernie was never far behind Hillary in terms of delegates. And since the media reported the super delegates who had at this point only pledged to vote for Hillary as if they were obligated to vote for her as if they were normal delegates, this probably demoralized Bernie voters.

They rigged the primary for Hillary, an action they were later forced to admit to and defend in court.

They also let Hillary seize campaign funds from down ballot races and screwed over half of their own candidates. It was ironically called the Clinton Victory Fund.

Fuck 'centrists'. They're all fascists too.

Way to create alliances and building bridges.

There's no alliance to be made with the party that's decided it serves the enemy.

Wall Street is the enemy. No party that takes corporate donations at all can claim not to be serving the enemy.

I'm sure that will defeat the next trump.

Enjoy.

People advocating for doing the exact same thing that made Trump viable as a candidate to begin with don't get to use Trump as a cudgel. Fuck all the way off with that nonsense.

I'm sure calling centrists "fascists" will work splendidly. Enjoy, I'll be over here, having universal Healthcare and parental leave.

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, anti-communism, 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.
