    I pulled that directly from the link to your Wikipedia article. You might want to read it.

      I’m lost. What was your point again?

      None of that describes any Democrat in office.

      So, all those people that call them neoliberal are wrong. Got it. I’m going to keep calling them neoliberals. My Frankfurt School diploma demands it.

        And unlike you, I’m going to keep using words in ways which are accurate to their meanings. Like a conservative insisting liberals are communists for supporting trans rights or social welfare programs, y’all just sound like idiots when you try to pretend liberals are Reaganites because they don’t want to demolish capitalism

        If you really do have a diploma, you need some remedial education.

          Your anger with me is misplaced, but I can take it. You should be angry with the author of the article, he’s the one who wrote it. Are we just not supposed to post articles that use the word “neoliberal” because Cleverdawn doesn’t approve? Get over yourself. Move on. Or write Merriam-Webster a nasty letter.

            Merriam Webster:

            neoliberal noun neo·lib·er·al ˌnē-ō-ˈli-b(ə-)rəl : a liberal who de-emphasizes traditional liberal doctrines in order to seek progress by more pragmatic methods

            That doesn’t say anything about free trade or capitalism either
