    Absolute coincidence that this was the rise of neoliberism…

    /s

    Seriously tho, it’s concerning they don’t mention this is when Dems started trying to compromise with Republicans on fiscal policy which drove republicans further right to differentiate.

        If someone told you smoking 50 packs a cigarette a day could lead to lung cancer…

        Would you say they’re trying to defend cancer?

        Or do you think they’re stating a simple case of cause and effect?

      Yes, I thought the article was about that and ideas for correcting neoliberalism and how to root it out, effectively. I was sorely disappointed.

      As intended by the Dem elites.

      It’s not an oopsie. They think we are too dumb to see through their chicanery.

        That’s always been their modis operandi, push right-wing legislation. Then when they get busted they claim they were short-sighted.
