Newsom is a neoliberal his policies are literally based on Ronald Reagan’s legacy of screwing the working class
The free-market capitalism variant of right-wing libertarianism? That's news.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism
I linked wikipedia, too: both articles agree.
In reality there’s no free market as we fully support communism for the capitalist class and cutthroat individualism for the working class but yes both parties have been neoliberal since the 80’s Europe is dealing with it to. It’s really just corruption
You keep using that word as if you comprehend it.
Nope: repeating yourself doesn't make it true.
Neoliberalism is a libertarian free-market capitalism movement.
Modern liberalism is not for free-market capitalism.
Major factions of the Democratic party are modern liberals & progressives. The progressive congressional caucus in their party is one of their largest.
Read them facts & weep.
Who should run for president instead?
AOC or Ro Kahna https://www.trackaipac.com/2028
Fair enough
