Asking as someone from the other side of the planet.

From the things I saw about the US election, the Dems were the side with plans for the economy - minimum wage adjustments, unions, taxing the rich, etc. The Republicans didn’t seem to have any concrete plans. At least, this is what I saw.

I don’t doubt Bernie Sanders though - he seems like a straight truth teller. But what am I missing?

    It doesn’t correlate with liberalism across the world.

    Really? Find me an anti-capitalist liberal. that should be very easy if this…

        No, Clyde. You’re not.

        You are just politically incoherent, like people who call themselves “fiscally conservative and economically progressive” (or whatever claptrap so-called “centrists” tell themselves).

        Liberalism fetishizes capitalism. If you’re anti-capitalist, you have abandoned liberalism.

        This is not complicated.

        Next you’ll be telling me you’re an anarcho-fascist.
