That is not real politics. I understand many people feel passionate about those issues but they are not, as far as I am concerned, real ones.

Capitalism is a wonderful system for the creating of wealth.
It really is. On the other hand, it is also well known that capitalism does not give a dog for social justice. And unless you regulate capitalism you will wind up with an ungodly mess. And what has happened now, of course, is that our political system is on the corporate payroll. And we are rapidly undoing the regulations that have long been in effect on the capitalist system.
