“when capitalism comes into tension with democracy…democracy is more important.”

No, actually. Singapore is a better country to live in than many democracies, such as Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

“when capitalism comes into tension with democracy…democracy is more important.”

Hoping that this is relevant to this thread, but I can not help but think about ones like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Mellon, and others that wear the “robber baron” label and certainly know they made these huge fortunes in those times with very different values and attitudes compared to those of today, however, remember that these same “robber barons” gave huge fortunes to the arts, museums, education, and other humanistic ventures. And gee, they likely did not need government and these ones like Warren, Sanders, or certainly Buttigieg making them do those things.

Let’s rephrase Buttplug’s thesis using the correct terms.

“When the Free Market comes into tension with the mob, the mob is more important.”

There is no “moderate” wing of the US Democrat Party

There is the lunatic fridge wing who are bat crap crazy

There is the liar wing, that agree with the bat crap crazy, but know they have to lie about it to win elections.
