At no point did I use neoliberalism to describe something I disagree with. Why do you keep saying that? And if by your own admission academics debate it and texts have been written about it how is it “made up bullshit”? And what have I “made up”? My definition of neoliberalism is based on the assertion that the…

Follow the thread. I didn’t throw the word out there, I responded to a poster who claimed that “most Americans support neoliberalism”. That should be pretty clear. I gave you some of the basic tenets of neoliberalism, so I’m not sure how that shows that I don’t understand it. It’s not a “buzzword”, economists have…

Expressing disagreement makes me an asshole? I've been called worse by better.

No less disingenuous than your notion that most Americans support an economic ideology that actively harms them. All I did was disagree with you, who’s really the asshole?

No, I’m talking specifically about Hillary’s involvement in our foreign affairs, not Obama’s. But since you mention it, most my criticisms of Obama (who I didn’t vote for) & Hillary are the same. I don’t ask Bernie for perfection or anything else because I have never supported his bid for Pres (and no one is trying to…

Privatization of public services/healthcare/prison, austerity measures, deregulation/elimination of regulatory organizations, union-busting, lowering taxes, allowing companies to move operations overseas to dodge taxation/avoid laws aimed at worker protection, cutting/eliminating social safety nets, suppression of the…

I should ignore this question because you’re talking to me like I’m an idiot, but neoliberalism is what the DNC platform is attempting to reverse the tide of, and what we advance overseas. Aside: I was responding to a comment that said most Americans agree with neoliberalism so I’m not sure why the onus to define the…

My resistance comes from the fact that I have a problem with Hillary’s track record in Latin America and the Mid East. That is not sexism, that is me being concerned with the lives and well-being of people who don’t live in the United States. The DNC platform is progressive on domestic issues (except for the fact the…

I don’t accept your premise that most Americans support neoliberalism. I said “you and your friends” because I don’t see how you could come to that conclusion unless you're mostly surrounded by like-minded folks.

You and your friends may buy into neoliberalism, but don't try to speak for the rest of us.

There are no valid reasons why someone would not support Hillary? The only reason someone would not vote for Hillary is sexism? You cannot seriously believe that.

I have polyamorous friends who have expressed feelings of jealousy (but not insecurity). I think jealousy is kinda visceral, whether you’re monogamous or not.

The entitlement of the Dems is reaaaally turning me off to them. The vitriol leveled at leftists, the complete erasure of black and non-white progressive voters, the complete dismissal of concerns about Hillary’s track record in Latin America & the Mid East, it’s disgusting. If you want people to vote for your…

It’s not as if no one has ever experienced negative effects/complications that can be attributed at least in part to vaccinations. That’s not anti-science, that’s an observation of facts.

You're a piece of shit

...the GOP. The notion that the Dems have tricked black people into supporting them and only wants to keep “them” poor and in need of govt assistance so they’ll have a base is paternalistic garbage that conservatives trot out as a dig against Dems, not because they give a flying fuck about the socioeconomic station of…

Something about this response (and your other comments) makes me feel bad for you. It seems like you think everyone sees the world the way you do. Hopefully you’ll find people you enjoy that enjoy you too.

Why would an atheist hang out with religious “kooks” though? Why do you want people who would not like you if they actually knew you to like you?

The Democratic party is not entitled to my vote just by virtue of not being the GOP. I am not a liberal (my politics are much farther left), I have never been a Bernie supporter and I will not vote for Hilary. If the party wants my vote, they should run some better candidates. Every day I’m on this website I see a…
