LOL. Capitalism won't go away. That "universal health care/education" jargon is just jargon.
Or did you mean that you like exploitation and inequality under capitalism too much to vote for a Democrat?
I do not advocate moving too far away from capitalism toward socialism because purely socialist societies haven't worked out that well. I do, however, advocate measures to address the exploitation and inquality under capitalism. We can still have a haves/have nots without this wealthy nation having soooo many people who are struggling to make ends meet.

I don't know who I'm voting for yet. Might be a Dem, though. I see nothing wrong with race or gender being the icing on the cake for your vote. As long as you have a cake to put icing on--be able to explain your decision (to yourself) with more than "change and race or gender" rhetoric. Afterall, we are only discrediting race and gender-based decisions now that there aren't only white males to choose from. But that won't stop many whites/white males from voting for a white or white male candidate because it's a safe bet this time around, either.
