Maybe the neoliberals should stop trying to throw the race to suck up to corporate donors.

Again.

Money from donors/SuperPACs > winning against Neo-Mussolini

We'll see if they still feel that way when Mango Mussolini throws them in a camp.

Obama will spend his final days on Martha's Vineyard, surrounded by loving grandchildren and giant piles of money.

Meanwhile, its going to be the 1.1M people barred from voting in Florida on Felony Disenfranchisement rules that end up in the camps.

I wouldn't count on it, but I also wouldn't bet against it.

A liberals last thought would be "I wish this labor camp had more female prison guards, that would have made me feel better about executed."

Hey, say what you will about 2024 Nazis, they're proud to let white women shoot people in the back of the head.

Very true. Sorry you got downvoted for that.

And you fuckers called me crazy for saying there was a concerted propaganda effort to conflate "neoliberal" with "liberal"

Neoliberals are Republicans.

Liberals are Democrats.

Reagan was arguably a neoliberal and Bush a neocon, but current Republicans have moved even further right straight to neofascism. The way that liberal democrats serve corporations over people proves to me that there is no longer a meaningful distinction between liberalism and neoliberalism.

"Kamala Harris is as far right as Ronald Reagan" was not a take I was expecting to see today.

Although given that this is Lemmy I wish I could say I was surprised.

It's hilarious that you think it isn't true. Other than hating gay and black people which isn't actually on an economic axis (necessarily...)

Reagan wasn't arguably a neoliberal. He was neoliberalism. The governmental policies of that era define the modern Democratic and what was the Republican Party.

It's not even entirely negative, deinstitutionalization wasn't done intelligently but there was rampant abuse in the system, for example.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Reagan was pretty far right, that I'll not dispute. What about Kamala Harris though?

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Fuckin told ya! It's just another elaborate goddamn "bothsides"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
