He is wants to introduce state ran grocery stores with lower prices than chain stores, freeze rents for some people, and give people free childcare. So like basic human empathy stuff. Its still treating the symptoms of capitalism but its treating them as directly and effectively as possible. His platform isn't that radical, but any concessions to the working class that doesn't make someone a buck will always be faced with hard opposition by those who benefit from the status quo.

I'm not an American, but I would imagine him treating the symptoms of capitalism is the only real power he has. It's not like he has the ability to change State or Federal law if elected.

You'd be correct. He is doing a good thing and I didn't mean to come off as critical if I did.

I didn't mean to sound critical either, just adding context.

Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @[email protected]
