I'm literally a member of my state Democratic party's progressive caucus.

I'm sure you're very knowledgeable about how American political parties function.

75,000,000 people voted for Kamala.

77,000,000 people voted for a guy who wants Israel to "finish the job" in Gaza.

Millions of people have voted by mail for decades, that doesn't explain why more people voted for Biden in 2020 than anyone in 2024.

He's right to point out that either no alternative is offered or the alternative is just more regulated capitalism with a stronger safety net.

There’s never any real discussion of detailed fixes in this kind of complaint—because that might acknowledge we can fix the problem without overthrowing the system. There’s never any argument about how under socialism (or some other alternative economic model) public policy tradeoffs, political failures, or scarcity just wouldn’t exist.

That's certainly a way you can describe something.

Ugh, capitalism
