Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The democrat faction of the corporate party only exists to derail and co-opt any actual progressive movements or ideas and channel that energy into pointless electoral ism. The system is working as designed, why change?

Democrats exist to occupy the left side of the political arena and prevent any actual leftist parties from gaining traction, and to normalize liberalism as the leftmost acceptable political stance in US politics. As far as their donors are concerned, this election was a huge success, and there's nothing they need to change.

Yes, regardless of if they win or lose, capitalism is maintained. Winning elections was never the point. That's why they will never court left wing voters, even if they know full well trying to swing the mythical "moderate" republican will never work.

The lesson they will learn is to throw token minorities like trans people to the dogs

Don’t count on someone learning something if their paycheck requires them not to.
