We do not have the polarized political system the media claim we have. Instead we have had 40+ years of politicians uniting behind neoliberal policies while using culture war issues as a distraction. It’s not Red vs. Blue, it’s the top 0.1% vs. the rest of us and Dems and Reps both represent the 0.1%.

It's weird that two different accounts have popped up, both posting about neoliberalism within an hour of each other, neither particularly seeming to understand what neoliberalism is, both critical of it for vague reasons, and the last reference to neoliberalism in this bowl before that was made 18 weeks ago. 🤔🤔🤔

You are pointing to watered down social programs from literally a decade ago as evidence that Dems totally want a strong social safety net. Lol. How many Americans feel like they are supported by the government when it comes to their medical bills and drug costs? Very few

I mean that’s just not true? Both Clinton and Obama made huge pushes for universal health care and took huge losses for it. While Paul Ryan was trying privatize social security.

One party cares about social welfare spending, the other wants to cut it (they just don’t talk about it anymore).

The two parties differ in policy quite a bit.

Hi Everyone,

Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.
