The problem is that Capitalism doesn't care about people. It is a system, and the worth of commodities and even people is determined by the market. People lose their jobs because either automation can replace them, or the job can be done cheaper elsewhere. Either way, that is capitalism, and if you support capitalism then that that is the inevitable result. You can try and restrict the impact by reducing global trade, but even if you built a wall around the USA and didn't import anything, as technology gets more and more efficient there will still be fewer and fewer jobs in the USA.
What's your proposal for people who can't get jobs because there aren't enough of them?
Yes Dems are not communism at all. I am talking about Progressives and Bernie ppl. The next primaries will see if this faction takes over.

I'm not sure, but I like the idea of basic income.
The side effects have to be addressed though.
Communism seems to assume everyone will want to work, and send out the murderous thugs when it doesn't go to plan.
I'm interested in your idea of routing resources to people to be used productively. Can you give some examples?
Sanders has too much animosity towards the wealthy.
Money out of politics is good - but the Dems will never let it happen.
I always use to say "I could never vote for the Republicans because of this".
So I support most the left-wing policies. But mostly it is a vote against the progressive movement, and the Bernie faction. And corruption is the ultimate destructive force in politics and the Clinton's oozed it.
I think that the more time that passes since the hey days of communism, people forget how terrible it was, and we start heading back towards it.
