capitalism wouldn't be so bad without the corrupt bloated shitheel scumbag fucking christofascligarchs
Honestly, I think it’s a bad idea for a democratic politicians to say capitalism is bad as a blanket statement. Capitalism with controls is great. Unchecked capitalism is bad.
Also, capitalism and social safety nets are not mutually exclusive. We can have capitalism as our economic core while still providing universal healthcare.
Any democrat that just comes out and says “capitalism bad” as a blanket statement is going to have a much harder time in the general election.
Please, can you give me the historical example you're thinking about when you say this?
This is because the entire political establishment is aligned with capitalists, not because there isn't popular agreement with that statement. But I'm not sure if that's true anymore for a Dem politician.
