Absolute coincidence that this was the rise of neoliberism…
/s
Seriously tho, it’s concerning they don’t mention this is when Dems started trying to compromise with Republicans on fiscal policy which drove republicans further right to differentiate.

What he said was exactly right, though. Third-Way Democrats like Clinton started adopting conservative views on austerity and taxes to try and emulate Regan’s success. In order to keep distinguishing themselves from their Democratic rivals, Republicans kept adopting further right economic and social policies. The end result of that rightward lurch is Trump.

If someone told you smoking 50 packs a cigarette a day could lead to lung cancer…
Would you say they’re trying to defend cancer?
Or do you think they’re stating a simple case of cause and effect?

Don’t be sorry. Most of their posts are a bOtH siDeS bit.
Not expecting a real answer, but wanted to try:
In America there’s two parties, but three groups of voters.
Parties:
-
Democratic
-
Republican.
Groups:
- Conservative
- Moderate
- Progressive
For the groups, 1 and 2 always shit on 3.
2 and 3 shit on 1.
But if anyone from 3 says anything that isn’t unadulterated praise of 2…
2 complains about “bOtH sIdES”.
And when 1 shits on 2, 2 apologizes and acts more like 1
Why?
Why are moderates not allowed to be criticized from the left? But when the right does it, they compromise with conservatives?
Do you honestly think group three is only allowed to criticize group one? If so why?

Like, read the article again (for the first time) and tell me what the article says is the cause.
They don’t.
They just talk about how bad cancer is.
Is radon considered the only viable alternative to smoking?
As intended by the Dem elites.
It’s not an oopsie. They think we are too dumb to see through their chicanery.
That’s always been their modis operandi, push right-wing legislation. Then when they get busted they claim they were short-sighted.
Yes, I thought the article was about that and ideas for correcting neoliberalism and how to root it out, effectively. I was sorely disappointed.
Bill Clinton and his DLC not only started the momentum of pushing the party to the right and that momentum hasn’t stopped, but has accelerated at enormous speed
It marks the start of Democrats caring more about winning and getting donations than the American people
