You can drink rat poison or you can drink roach poison.

... and yet you'd still have more intellectual capacity left over than a Libertarian.

Not sure where Democrats/Republicans get off poking fun at the voting bloc that consistently scores as the most analytical and well-informed in the electorate.

Hey, at least we took Econ 101.

Wait, do you actually believe that Economics classes are taught in a completely objective, impartial manner? And that basic economics classes provide a thorough explanation of capitalism and presentation of the criticisms thereof? LOL

Perhaps you should study a bit of Dr. Richard Wolff, a Marxist Economics Professor, who has taught at Yale University, City University of New York, University of Utah, University of Paris I (Sorbonne), The Brecht Forum in New York City, and is the Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst and visiting professor at the New School University in New York. His publicly available lectures and appearances on programs have been incredibly beneficial for my understanding of economics and, at the very least, would provide you with a thorough, well educated criticism of capitalism - with which you can choose to do whatever you want.

I'd like to see what the Brandeis/Warren world looks like first before proceeding to Debs/Sanders-land.

Both will take us to that stop first if we can ever make it there from our current right-wing laissez faire hellscape, so it doesn't matter really who you vote for now as we are so far from both.

Based on history, it’d take us to the relative pleasantness of the post-WII era before the elite get sick of making compromises and pursue their right-wing agenda again, which will, in time, give rise to radicalism in politics and social life, then a revolutionary or near-revolutionary crisis that brings about a restabilization of society under regulated capitalism with social democratic elements. Rinse and repeat.

You located a Marxist at a university. Is that supposed to impress me?

Yes. Because nothing could mean more to me than impressing you.

I thought this was a college acceptance hypothetical (Brandeis or Debts)! My initial reaction was why isn't Brandeis good enough! That is also my final reaction.

I wish Warren was more like Brandeis.   Brandeis was critical of concentrated power in government as well as in business.
