Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Maybe the reason why you people never accomplish anything is because you're sitting around reading books about theory written by men who died 200 years ago and not putting any of that theory into practice. I mean, that would actually require getting up off your ass and doing something, so I understand.
Which only reinforces my point about how useless and innefectual the left is in this country.
The reason why the left is useless and ineffectual, by the way, is because they don't vote.
This is only true because, once again, leftists don't vote.
Or maybe it's because of the US actively suppressing leftist movements domestically and internationally for over a century? Again, go read a fucking book.
So it's the government's fault that leftists in this country have effectively done nothing within my entire lifetime? You know cointelpro was like back in the 70s, right? I mean it's been 50 years since then.
Tell me, what's the one thing leftist movements can actually do to stop the government targeting them?
Come on, put 2 and 2 together please.
Lol you can go read that book now kiddo
You literally care more about your virtue signaling that you were against genocide that you allowed a fascist to take power who turned around and completely wiped the Gaza strip off the map. Which part of "resisting genocide" was allowing Trump to send over 2000 lb MK-84 bombs to Israel?
Which book exactly should I read that justifies that bullshit?
And yes, I said virtue signaling, because that's what you're doing. So Fucking disgusting.
Lol pure projection, you're fine with genocide when blue team is doing it because you're a morally bankrupt hypocritical coward
See the things is, you tell me you won't vote against fascists because they support genocide, but then you don't actually do anything yourself to combat genocide.
You don't agree? Tell me, where the hell is the anti-war movement? Where are the protests? Where are you people? You're not even doing the one thing that leftists ever actually do - protest. Where are they?
You know, 20 years ago before the Iraq war started there were millions upon millions of people in the street, around the entire damn world. Now we have a president who not only wiped out the Palestinians (good job in stopping that btw,) but also started a war in Iran. Where the hell are you people? You would think if you really cared about the people in the middle east you'd maybe get up off your ass and DO SOMETHING.
But you can't even do that. You know why? Becuase it's all bullshit virtue signaling. You' and your movement are useless. I would actually like things like universal healthcare and UBI to happen in my lifetime. If I rely on you morons it'll never happen.
You can go away now.
