So she was bragging to Fox on her and her co-collaborators conservative bonafides.
Democrats as a party do have an issue with Republicans infiltrating..
The possibility of infiltrators is meaningless when the Democrats are themselves a pro-capitalist neoliberal party. Their fundamental class interests do not allow them to make reform that is beneficial to the working class. This is why whenever the Dems are in power they either outright refuse to do anything meaningful, or the reforms they do pass are so convoluted and means-tested-to-hell that they end up making things worse in some way.
this explains the perpetual right-wing movement of the government when it comes to social, ethnic and minority rights. "left-wing" parties do not reverse authoritarian changes in their terms of power, allowing the far right party to resume course when they toggle back into power.
You lost me when you called Dems neoliberal.
There are like 3 neoliberal democrats.
Democrats are mostly modern liberals.
Republicans are classical liberals and neoliberals.
Would it really hurt you to learn the definition of a few words? Reagan was the US neoliberal movement.
What are you talking about? Every President since Reagan has been neoliberal.
Sure if you are a Marxist Leninist.
Clinton embraced some neoliberal policy. Obama was not a neoliberal and tells me you don’t understand what neoliberal means. Biden was the most progressive president we have ever had lol. (Since FDR.)
But sure “neoliberal.”
Neoliberals believe in the de-regulation of capital, which has been the outcome of every president since Reagan, regardless of the words they use to win elections.
And Biden was progressive? Lol you really have no idea what words mean.
Wrong way to look at it.
Democrats and republicans share the same donors. They may individually have different goals in mind, but their donors appeal to both sides to preserve a guaranteed outcome and to preserve the image of choice and opposition.
Really though what we have is anyone who wants to make a fast dime and has the gift of gab throwing themselves into the ring to try to get some of that sweet, sweet donor bribery.
Probably not Republicans. Just cunts that had a price tag higher than most. They are all being bought off for 10s of millions of dollars if not more. They all have an exit strategy. Make sure you are manning the doors the day they finally try to make their swift exit. They have been made promises that they and their families will be safe. Make them rue that decision.
Please let me be in me of your token Democrats when you complete your takeover. I'll be good, and do whatever you want, if I can just stay in office.
