Republicans cosplay as neoliberals while mostly being conservative.
Democrats are mostly liberal not neoliberal.
Right, so what does liberal mean to you then?
Social liberalism or progressive liberalism is a political philosophy and variety of liberalism that endorses social justice, social services, a mixed economy, and the expansion of civil and political rights, as slightly opposed to classical liberalism which favors limited government and an overall more laissez-faire style of governance. While both are committed to personal freedoms, social liberalism places greater emphasis on the role of government in addressing social inequalities and ensuring public welfare.
Social liberal governments address economic and social issues such as poverty, welfare, infrastructure, healthcare, and education using government intervention, while emphasising individual rights and autonomy.
Social liberalism, because the US usually just calls it liberalism.
I would argue some of the Democrats would fall under that description, but the majority, especially leadership, falls into the purview of neo-liberalism.
Neoliberalism is what republicans cosplay as especially when in opposition.
Even democratic leaders aren’t trying to strip regulations and shrink government.
Obama was happy to do that with Republicans.
Biden and Kamala were running on more privatization. Slotkin in a state of the union rebuttal was for the dems being more like Reagan, famous for stripping government.
The only difference is republicans do massive cuts while dems do frog boiling methods or just let gop be the bad ones and not fix it
I couldn't come up with enough energy to continue arguing, thank you.
And it's interesting to see what they don't respond to
Tired of people saying saying they're different sides of the same coin when they're not.
