I would argue some of the Democrats would fall under that description, but the majority, especially leadership, falls into the purview of neo-liberalism.

Protests themselves are just us saying we’re trying the peaceful option first. They hold no real power in their action except with the danger of violence.


Right, so what does liberal mean to you then?


Neo-liberal ideology is one that succinctly calls itself socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
It’s pro-capitalist believing in laissez-faire economic policies, minimal government guidance, regulation, or oversight. Economic policies that do not restrict the accumulation of wealth, expansion of business, reach of business, its regulation. Believers often talk about the hand of the free market guiding it.
Social policies, it ranges from moderately conservative to moderate in general. As long as they do not hamper the free market economy. Equality but not necessary egalitarianism. So examples include increase in police funding, promotion of private institutions along with public ones.
They believe people should be free to move among the social levels through merit. Also austerity is a big part of it. Big players in recent times have been Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Both parties were neo-liberal until the time of Newt Gingrich then the Republicans started to turn toward reactionary politics more and more.
Neo-liberal does not mean leftist/ism/, socialist/ism, communist/ism, and anarchist/ism. Such ideologies are at odds because they believe in best of a regulated capitalist socio-economic policy to outright its rejection.


I wasn’t saying you said DingDong didn’t vote. What I’m saying is that neo-liberals believe if you are critical of the Dems and them they think you didn’t vote at all.


Scratch a neo-liberal…


Ahh yes, the “let’s not do our job, it’s pointless” argument.


Wow, so much for being the party of “Resistance.” Tell me again how we can depend on the neo-liberals to not only do the right thing but also their jobs?


DAT COMUNEESUM!


Don’t you love the neo-liberal bullshit of critical analysis of a candidate by a leftist means you didn’t vote for them? Geeze, with them pushing away leftists, I wonder how the party will do now.


I love it, the left are both a large voting block for the Democrats but negligible enough to not be considered serious for legislation. Like with all fascists, you can’t reason with a neo-lib.
That went out of style when the people who greatly enjoyed that music simped for rich people dicking them over honestly.
Could probably word it better, one moment.


I go with the arguments I do with 9/11, it wasn’t an inside job. The government and president knew they were going to be happening, they chose to let them happen.
The ability to not be available 24/7 or expected to be. Employers with the advent of cellphones and their ubiquity expect that from you and they can fuck right off.


Life is a hurricane…


Yeah not a mass shooting, may not have been an assassination attempt either until a confession comes from the shooter. He may have been pissed at the media and didn’t know Trump would be there.


AHh yes, the entire “Everyone here thinks exactly the same” argumentative device.
Then you’re denied it regardless.
