Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Why did they even have to work so hard for your young left vote? You saw the alternative, and you knew the consequences to staying home. You will suffer it not their party. I thought you guys were the smart ones and would know to take the lesser of two evils, instead of standing to the side to let the worst one in. And again you will suffer, no matter how much you say "that's what Democrats get I hope they learn", while you burn.
Anyways I just don't get it guys. Sometimes in life you have to eat shit and like it. But instead you decided to cut off your nose to spite your face.

they didn't have to work hard. they just had to not genocide and toss some red corporate meat on the fire for the masses to devour. sadly even that was too heavy a lift for them.
I'm a trotskyist and care very little for capitalist mouth peaces. Most socialists and anarchist have similar sentients.
You may have us confused for liberals.
It's because they're cucks. 20 million Americans get off on watching their government and their country get fucked by a fascist dictatorship.
I'll trust a magat over these cucks any day. At least I know what the magat stands for.
The most disappointing part will be they won't even realize how bad they fucked up until they go to a protest protesting the removal of our civil liberties and immediately get put into a camp. Only then will they maybe finally understand how bad they fucked things up.
