I mean I guess Nancy Pelosi spelling it out “we’re capitalists and that’s that” wasn’t enough to make it clear they’re on the side of business and money, and not on the side of regular people or something.

EDIT: Sorry, realized after posting this sounds kind of snotty. I just mean that unfortunately liberals often focus on growing capitalism, which is inherently a system that rewards ruthlessness and selfishness in business.

I think markets are important, but markets can still exist without capitalism, and it’s clear capitalism’s way of approaching economics poisons our governance through regulatory capture. Capitalism lets every business owner be a dictator of his personal fiefdom, it does not allow democracy for workers in the workplace. So capitalism and democracy are nearly inherently unable to permanently co-exist, and liberals support of capitalism over even tightly regulated capitalism (which also doesn’t work because the people with capital will always use that capital to influence regulation to benefit them selfishly), they are still basically all-in on laissez-faire capitalism where regulation is scant and allows for the corruption of both business and government. Their unwillingness to face these facts makes them squarely center-right, where they give platitudes for social justice like kneeling kente cloths (which did fucking nothing at all, just symbolic bullshit) but also make conditions for social justice worse by allowing a two tiered justice system to flourish.
