Capitalism as we know it is compatible with democracy. The concentration of wealth and power it has produced makes that coexistence impossible.
Compromises and incremental improvements here and there are not enough. I think that most Democrats want universal health care and believe that the tax structure that permits the existence of billionaires is bad. Most of us who think about such matters believe that the concentration of industries into megacorporations is harmful. The great majority of Democrats believe that the climate crisis is real and that fossil fuels must be replaced. Most of us who read the GND proposal that AOC and Markey published think that the ideas it contains are just fine.
But the Democratic Party won't commit fully to policies that match our beliefs because our leaders think we dare not go too far, that we can't risk seeming extreme. A Green New Deal? Clutch your pearls!
Careful incrementalism and tacking to the center must be why that well-known moderate, Donald Trump, is sitting in the Oval Office.
Evidently, a lot of people wanted big change. Harris offered us Biden 2.0, a new and improved Biden, but with no differences in policy from Biden 1.0, Trump offered magic. Presto, Chango! Fascism.
