If you can't see the evidence, it means you are not looking for it.
-Maoism of China
-USSR
-Venezuela
-North Korea
-Cuba

If you can provide examples of "capitalism gone wrong" that have led to more death, poverty, pain, and suffering than the countries I listed above, please feel free to enlighten me.

You said "long term government intervention". Some countries where we have long-term (100 years or more) government intervention in the markets:

United States
Great Britain
Switzerland
Sweden

Some more where we have intervention for as long as the current government has existed:
Germany
France
Belgium
Luxembourg

Now, feel free to show me a country where there is not long-term government intervention, and show me how successful it is.

Considering how long we've went back on forth on various topics, I feel like you know this argument is disingenuous. Clearly I didn't mean "long term government intervention" as "mixed economies". The level of intervention our government is showing now (trillions in stimulus for many of us to stay home) can't last long without us turning into one of the examples I gave.

Now, feel free to show me a country where there is not long-term government intervention, and show me how successful it is.

Maybe this exists on another planet somewhere.

It won't last long, not even through the rest of this year.

Paul Krugman: American democracy may be dying.

“...what just happened in Wisconsin scares me more than either disease or depression. For it shows that one of our two major parties simply doesn’t believe in democracy. Authoritarian rule may be just around the corner.”

This video makes clear something I've felt strongly about. We don't beat Trump by playing his game, aka we need a liberal blowhard to go toe to toe with Trump. We need strong policy, sound logic and an appeal to rationality. That's why I was so encouraged by Warren early. I felt like she was the perfect embodiment of those qualities.

The government doesn't create, it only takes..

free market capitalism created the moon launch, the interstate highway system, the internet, and other trivial things. All with no government help.

I’m a fiscal conservative and even I see through this nonsense

Biden is the one who is cognitively impaired?

Yep. He is such a horrible public speaker (to go along with so many other flaws).

Ridiculous

Ridiculous

Not as ridiculous as a Trump supporter trying to use a rape accusation against Biden.

I am very disappointed in the process that led us to Biden as our candidate. Warren, Klobuchar, Booker, Sanders and Yang were all better picks. My favorite was Warren, but 'you go to war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.' I'll support Biden as a means of ridding the nation of its greatest threat.
