    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.

      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.
