In reply to the discussion: Why have Democrats embraced neoliberalism, anyway? [View all]WellDarn
(255 posts)I've read the platform and it does not seem that "neoliberal" at all.
Now my opinion may not count for a hill of beans on this subject because I didn't get behind Hillary Clinton until after the primary, but I see plenty of folks on here that can pretty well provide proof positive how wrong this is.
Is there anyone here who believes strong corporations and a high DJIA are important to a strong America? Is there anyone who doesn't believe that social support networks should provide more than subsistence and should provide it until the need ends? Is there anyone who doesn't realize now that the Omnibus Crime Bill and the AEDPA were wrong and racist? Is there anyone on here who doesn't believe that the only purpose of trade is to better the life of American workers?
My bet is on no, but I'll let the long timers really show how wrong this is.
Let's shut this talk down with facts, not with denials.
