Sub in the other capitalists. That'll fix it.
Doing nothing, that always works.
Educating yourself on the atrocities commited by both the Democrats and Republicans would have you not so excited about a "blue wave." They're just the other right wingers.
You will not be saved by a ruling class bootlicker.
There is a left wing in the democratic party - it is possible to get organized and help it win over the conservative wing.
There is no left wing. There is a center wing though.
huh, I have to say, this is the opposite experience of what I have on the rest of the internet. Finally I can get into arguments with some leftists :)
Goli otok for you, revisionist
Which Democrats do not support capitalism? There's no such thing as a capitalism supporting left wing. Bernie is probably the closest thing, though not a Democrat, and even he is pro-capitalism.
So wanting back to the post-war consensus is centrism in your book?
When has the US been post war? Edit: I understand what you're sayimg now. And you're looking for ethical capitalism, which is a weird thing to say. In other words, ethical-exploitation. Doesn't seem like a real thing, yeah?
The only reason FDR caved as much as he did is because the US had a strong communist presence. They've fixed that. Your longing for the past is akin to conservatism, no?
Finally someone who gets that the New Deal was nothing more than a concession to keep the people appeased while the rest of the state apparatus systematically dismantled the "communist threat" and the very foundations that allowed the growing unrest to manifest into effect resistance over the decades to come.
I'll take that as a yes. Fair enough.
