I didn’t misuse the word. You have to get over that. You don’t understand the argument or you have not followed conversations about the adoption of neoliberal policy on the left. Trickle down is not the only aspect of neoliberalism.

The latter part of your comment makes no sense.

I have no idea what this has to do with reddit (I don’t browse or participate in discussions there). And saved this country?

Cool story.

Stuff.

I know what it means— and I know the debate in academic circles about how the word is used and if it is a useful definition. It’s very presumptions that you “know” I wouldn’t read what you would say and that I don’t “know” anything about this subject.

Is this where I can ask why people around here are really excited about neoliberalism without someone saying “hot take dur-hurrr”?

No. Please pay attention.

Also, is “incrementalism” the euphemism pretend liberals use to mask conservatism these days?

“Hey, I know things are tough, but you’re going to have to wait for relief. I know you can’t afford higher education right now. If only you were already upper-middle class!

Would someone like to explain why the Jezebel crowd is really excited about neoliberalism?

“whining about voter disenfranchisement?” Like it’s not something to bring attention to?

Who is the third evil?

This is the major question. She’s quite a few steps backwards from Obama. I guess America isn’t ready to really examine its class problem (unless it’s how to more efficiently move the already advantaged upwards).

Why do you have “progressives” in scare quotes?

Different? As in progress? Or in the simple fact the United States might finally get a female president even if she isn’t the best candidate for office? Go rich people! Onward!

All the internet has done to change language is make changes in favor of bad taste and stupidity.

Or it just reveals the process by which mainstream audiences are often too afraid to engage anything slightly transgressive (I’m not talking about sex or drugs) until there is enough weight behind the masses to legitimize it.

Isn’t the expression itself embarrassing? Not the sentiment, just the expression.
