the DNC is solely responsible for the rise of neoliberalism
Neoliberalism is commonly associated with conservatism and the economic policies of America’s right, not the left. Although presidents like Clinton were fairly big on neoliberal economics.

The term “neoliberalism” can be kind of confusing because it contains “liberal” in it. Socially liberal and economically liberal are pretty different things.
You said the DNC “solely” pushed neoliberalism. I’m saying that most of the pushing has been from the GOP. The 90’s DNC was pretty into it (looking at NAFTA), but over the past 40 years, most of the push for small government and deregulation has come from the GOP, not the DNC.
I don’t think saying that is particularly controversial. Every single republican candidate is proud of that.
Who started gutting unions before Regan using the Thaft-Hartley act? Yeah that’s right, Carter. This isn’t new. Taxes cuts for the rich in the DNC date back from the Kennedy era.
You should stand by your statement as it is correct.
Neoliberalism is fairly close to the general economic consensus on things like trade between 1980-the present. It was backed by both parties for a reason.
Oh, I have actually studied economics. Im not “almost there” Im past the point where I consider anyone talking about “neoliberalism” to be relatively uneducated in economics.

Keep going, you’re almost there!
okay… so… remind me what party Clinton was?
Remind me what party still props up Clintonians? As recently as 2016?
Remind me what party steadfastly pushes neoliberals and ostrazices progressives?
Yeah, I stand by my statement 💯

Damn Liberals!
Yup. I never said it was all or nothing. Just saying that neoliberalism is pushed much more by America’s right.
And I would argue that, now that the parties have polarized, the DNC is less neoliberal than in the past, and the GOP is hyper neoliberal these days.

Neoliberalism is also closely associated with what the general economic consensus on most things.
