Agreed - I remember the "yellow dog Democrats" of the '70s. But Neoliberalism has also failed. There will have to be somewhat of a 'radical' response to 40 years of the radical Republican fleecing of the 99%, but I agree that this could be done badly if ultra-left-wing approaches are considered. Hell, there are some former Bernie supporters who are now calling themselves anarchists. Insane.

Yeah. A facility that can produce 300 million vaccines per month would not be built under a libertarian idea of utopia. But we need one. I think that is one reason why they are covid-deniers. A pandemic requires a different economic approach from normal. Even the Russian Communist Party is in covid denial because their economic plan doesn't account for pandemics.

I am not sure if "ultra-left-wing" is always bad. Like it seems ultra-left-wing to simply accept trans people. And if McDonald's were employee owned, I don't promise on my wife's grave that would be ideal, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. I just want some sanity.
