If only Democrats had the stones to do this.

    And if he does? Preferring a neoliberal to a fascist does not make one a neoliberal, especially if a neoliberal has a better shot at preventing a fascist from gaining office than a leftist. Bernie is a social democrat and a pragmatist, and if that’s not left enough for you than say that, but don’t get your ideologies confused.

      Everyone has already forgotten what happened when the DNC used Bernie to try to bait and switch his voters for Hilary. We might be cooked if everyone has already forgotten this strategy doesn’t work.

      The DNC Neoliberals also funded fringe right wing campaigns to give themselves easy competition, and instead lost to them. Making them partially responsible for Trump ever gaining power, they paved the road every step of the way through fucking insane excuses that limp fuck neolibs just keep lapping up like dogs.

      I personally can’t ever vote for another Republican or Democrat again, MAYBE if an actual leftist is the democratic canidate. But IMO the only way to free ourselves is to end the Duopoly forever, there’s no baby in that bathwater.

        without looking it up what is neoliberalism and how is it different from social democracy or, indeed, liberalism?

            “Everyone is a neoliberal except me”

            If you can’t properly identify ideology how can you expect to have meaningful conversations about it?

                You might not see this, but someone else will: Neoliberalism has a definition, and it’s not “fake leftist.” When you find yourself calling Bernie Sanders, of all people, a neoliberal for advocating for voting for a neoliberal in an election against a fascist you need to take a step back and seriously ask yourself if you are lost in the sauce. If you do not know your enemy you will struggle to fight them.
