Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.

      Republicans don’t have the spine to run at risk of death, and elections only happen every two years meaning until then DNC would have the first real supermajority since 1979.

      Tax them into the dirt, then there will never be more billionaires.

          Do you think liberal is an insult? Oh, I’m so sorry that promoting human rights inconveniences you.

            You’re misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn’t call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

              Right okay, the parties fighting for liberty, fairness, and true democracy aren’t liberals they’re “neoliberal”. Whatever that means.

                Neoliberalism fights for a semblance of democracy that favors economic, corporate freedom over personal liberties and the inherent human value we both care about.

                  Wouldn’t that just be anarchism / corporatism similar to a deregulated syndicalism? Why use a word with an opposite meaning, “new liberalism”, to describe something?

                    I’d guess it’s to point out the fact that it’s developed under the guise of social liberty, but it isn’t a well defined term. Conservatives and neoliberals alike regard the views as liberal in America for some reason. In my mind the word helps distinguish it from liberal ideology by tacking on a modifier that can’t be equated to liberalism per se.
