Trust me, I know. I criticize Biden because unlike Trump, he actually listens to criticism. It’s good advocacy. Of course I will be voting for him, in spite of the genocide he’s enabling.

That is a fantastic start, yes, exactly. I still think we can do better than this, like a 75% billionaire tax, but I’m okay with walking, not running, to the desired goal.

I’m listening to the article now.

TL;DR, the author argues that capitalism went wrong starting with the Reagan administration. Laissez-faire capitalism is clearly a mistake, and they argue that we should push back and establish a more progressive form of capitalism.

As a socialist, I would be thrilled if this became the mainstream view. We need to start taking steps toward a more progressive society. Starting by taxing the rich, getting money out of politics, and stricter regulations on business and wealth.

It’s just kind of a funny thing to say “progressive capitalism”. Capitalism itself is a regressive system… but the ideas presented here are indeed good. I like seeing this in WaPo.

Gen X does not vote with Gen Z and millennials. They tend to vote alongside the boomers. Therefore, we get Biden.

That’s the joke
