My advice would be to check out 1791 and also Political Juice on YouTube: the stuff I've seen from them serves as a nice counterbalance to what I've seen from her channel. At the very least, you come out with a lot more information to utilize.
Even if I buy into the notion that capitalism is the best we have that doesn't make it desirable or defensible. It's a pretty depressing world if we have to live the rest of humanity's existence being manipulated by Coke and Walmart.
