And a Republican thing. Did you forget about the even larger group of people who believe in capitalism even more? I agree that the hand-winging "oh, maybe we'll vote in a better president in a few years, let's wait things out" crowd is a pain, but the sentiment that "capitalism is the best we've got" is championed primarily by people even further to the right than them.

Republicans are liberals too, for what it's worth. When leftists refer to liberals, we don't exclusively mean those that support the DNC. Either way, though, if liberals ultimately wrap around to supporting capitalism even if they don't have as strong an attachment to it, they still end up supporting capitalism and desiring its persistence.
