I would love to hear you try and define a neolib. I wonder if that would be more wrong than your take on the ACA.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Adding neo to liberal is redundant. Just the word liberal is enough and the ACA is garbage and they gave you empty threat of it being taken away so you would clutch onto it and defend it tooth and nail. They know the public fears losing the few table scraps that get thrown at them
You are just a walking example of horseshoe theory. I can't tell if you are a Republican who hates the ACA because it came from a black president, or you are a lefty ideologue who would rather live under fascism than cooperate with a Democrat. There is really no way to know since you regularly lie.
You have settled for legislation written by Republicans to protect profits and capitalism. Then they used infantile tactics to convince you that you might lose your table scraps If you don't defend it.
And since you were completely clueless, Democrats are fascist, they've enabled our current political conditions along with Republicans. Republicans crank the fascism to the right and Democrats prevented from slipping back
Not Republican written first of all. ACA was based on a Massachusetts program passed by a Democrat controlled state Congress.
Democrats are fascist
All you've proven is you don't know the definition of fascism either.
And who do you think wrote Romneycare? The fucking Heritage Foundation. Democrats have never found legislation written by the HF that they didn't love.

All they got from the Heritage Foundation was the idea of the individual mandate which is hardly an original idea as it is shared by nearly all healthcare policies of developed countries.
Democrats have never found legislation written by the HF that they didn't love.
Objectively false. Democrats have been fighting Project 2025 tooth and nail.
Fighting so hard they pushed a candidate whose internal polling never showed they would beat trump. Fighting so hard they had no alternatives for it. BlueMAGA is as deranged as MAGA
You blame them for not fighting Project 2025 before it was implemented. That shows how nonsensical your opposition is. Read some history. People like you who fight potential allies instead of allying with them against fascism are exactly what enables fascism to win.
Edit: then again, I'm increasingly thinking that fascists winning is exactly your goal.
Democrats are never allies. Democrats will betray the working class every single chance they get. The Democrats do not want allies, they want people that will do as they're told. Which is why they get unhinged whenever they're told no.
They knew what was in Project 2025 before it was implemented. They knew what it was in it when it was drafted. And their only solution was vote with the guy with spaghetti for brains.
So you don't understand our first past the post electoral system, you don't understand how to stop fascism, you don't understand politics in general, and you don't understand how much you are embarrassing yourself with your ignorance right now.
I understand that first past the post means whoever wins first, wins. The only thing preventing a non oligarch from winning is voters. But voters are terrified of losing the privileges that the status quo provides them.
You can't stop fascism if you don't recognize it
The Republicans have demonstrated that no, these things do not take time.
I asked for a gender inclusive restroom, was gaslighted those things take time. I then emailed CEO cc’ed chair of board of directors. It was converted in 2 days.
It was never about time, it’s about agency
Yep, it takes time for us peons but the dictators can do anything they please.
Add long as you brazenly break rules and laws, and your controlling party willingly does nothing about it

They'll give Trump a golden parachute, wish him the best, then continue the ratchet effect. Neo-liberals are as much enemies of democracy as the reactionaries.
we must move forward and heal which is why we won't push for charges or do any investigations
Just like they did with the bushes and Nixon and Reagan

Power is never given, it is taken.
I see a lot of discourse around this theory that when Democrats are in power they’ll reverse everything this regime has done. Yes this is a comforting thought but it’s way too much to expect from the Democratic Party as we know it now.
The Executive branch has been given (and has taken) an extreme amount of power to the point where the balance we once knew is now nonexistent. Does anyone think for one second the next president will just forfeit those gains? What incentive is there? And as we’ve seen and continue to see, who will hold them to account?
My bet is that we’ll see a few easy ‘gimme’ reversals that are enough to enable our slide back into the complacency we so desperately crave.
Republicans turn the wheel counter-clockwise while the Democrats don’t turn it.

Didn't Biden undo a lot of shit that Trump has done during his first term?
