    Yes. But it is important to note that ACTUAL Democrats and left wing candidates in local elections are not the same as the corporate neoliberals

      How in the ever loving fuck do you figure that? Democrats are a neoliberal party from the top down. The only places they allow leftists to actually run are places they’d win as a third party anyway. Democrats exist to stop the left just as much as Republicans.

        Uh, no they aren’t because they have democratic socialists and social Democrats? What do you mean?

        You think Bernie, AOC, Tallarico, Ilhan Omar, etc are all neoliberals?

        Please don’t, we already have to fight all of these blue magas without takes like this.

        I know that the corporate Democrats (neoliberals) are funding maga against the left. That’s my issue with them. But the party does have good people in it although they are not in control at all right now

            Is your definition of neoliberal “anyone who doesn’t agree with me on 100% of issues?”

            If not, can you give examples of issues that someone could disagree with you on which would not get them branded as a “neoliberal”?

            Yes. That’s what I was referring to. They seem to be reasonable neoliberals that are not pushing away the left and actively attack MAGA. They should get kudos for that.

            *Note that it sounds like his decision on the trans athlete thing was what I was praising but I’m talking about his focus on the working class and holding maga feet to the fire

                You don’t agree that Ossof and Tallarico are reasonable? There are some over there that are attempting to read the room. Even Obama endorsed Al-Sayad.

                You can see the hate I get for pointing out the problems with the Dems but I will still give credit where it is due. But the party leadership and committees are completely captured
