RFK Jr. says he’s “a free market capitalism guy.” I’m “a hypercapitalism has gone off the rails and lost any semblance of moral center and has to be regulated more strictly before it kills us all” kind of gal.

He’s also a “end the war in Ukraine” guy and you’re a “RussiaGate was a cyber Pearl Harbor attack” girl.

You didn’t mind using Capitalism to flog your books on Oprah and sell phony snake oil cures to AIDS patients though did you?

That quote of his is exactly the thing he's said that's stuck out most to me. I think it's because he said it with his chest. Like, he's just so proud about it. Yuck. Your type is my type and his type deserves no hype.

In other words "I'm a capitalist too but lack the courage to say it so I'll find a way to sell it to the unwashed masses by talking about a "moral center" & dressing up the boot on the workers neck as something "Stunning & Brave and if they complain, I'll call them "Transphobic"

Why are you attacking the guy who is polling at 20% instead of the front runner?

200yrs ago Karl Marx predicted that the inevitable trajectory of regular ol’ capitalism is alienation from nature, community, work and self. We’ve arrived 🤮

I'm a "Capitalism is an anti-concept used to disguise 'State Sponsored Mercantilism', which is what we have, as 'free markets', which is what everyone wants" kind of guy.
