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.

Don't take it so hard, it was a joke.
Notice that you didn't deny engaging in whataboutism.
I suggest we change the name of the fallacy from tu quoque to y tu mama tambien.
The irony of course being that you think whataboutism is when you simply change the topic to an unrelated one (that's what you're implying). When in fact it refers to the act of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation on the same subject instead of offering an explanation. Which is exactly what you did.
So as it turns out, you're the one who actually doesn't know what whataboutism means, and basically self-reported your ignorance. I wasn't expecting this plot twist - it's laughable given how simple of a concept it is.
But hey, keep digging that hole. Let's see how deep you can go.
