I hope Hillary wins but it's close enough the Republicans keep the House and maybe the Senate and everything basically stays the same. I'm pretty happy with where we're at

I'm pretty sure everyone staunchly defending Hillary on social media has a financial stake in her winning.

They'll never disclose that.

Bunch of white communications majors with jobs funded by the corrupt gravy train that is the Democratic Party.

this is definitely partially true, though you're under estimating how many 23 year old girls im friends with who just want to prove they're NOT RACIST and find it too complicated and sad to love bernie but not vote for the woman who denied him his fair shot at democracy even though bernie is telling you to

the biggest problem with neoliberalism is that the fat cat corruption at the top has a foundation that is 50 percent stupid, but genuinely trying to be kind and without greed types of people. they're going to be phone banking for someone or they won't feel complete, oh it's a woman?? and she swears she's the end to racism and poverty?

i make the mistake of replying to some neo liberal friends on facebook about this occasionally, and i am not kidding when i say basically everyone ever who goes to or taught at a college refuses to spend even a minute a week reading about gary johnson or jill stein, hell they do not even actually talk about hillary's voting record

it's an entire generation of leftists with no connection to the left but an extremely emotional connection to what the media and the campuses define as neoliberal ideas, i would bet of the last 10 times i replied to this poo poo this year, rather than say i lied, or cite a single source, the reply is WELL WHAT ARE YOU THEN, A TRUMP SUPPORTER? and i say 'no' and they go STILL IT'S YOUR FAULT IF HE WINS

what do you call a society where the only way you're approved to contribute to the political process is to....not talk about actual crimes and actual voted in policies by the wife of the president who may become president?

edit

i should explain, they define it as liberalism when i and most sane people who are familiar with history would clearly have to call it neoliberalism or what the right calls 'the regressive left'. i can't use cute titles for it or once again, i have just elected trump i'm sure

neoliberalism already has a definition, why do americans think words involving the word liberal don't already have a definition :downs:

because we had the "neo-conservative" movement in the late 90s / early 00s which hosed up lots of things for us and the world at large, because they were idiots with a simple-minded worldview and infinite willingness to sell out the government process to their wealthy corporate masters (wall street, big energy, and the military industrial complex)

now we have the equal thing but from the other side, that is loving up lots of things for us and the world at large because they are idiots with simple-minded worldviews and infinite willingness to sell out the government process to a slightly different set of wealthy corporate masters (wall street, hollywood, and the military industrial complex but this time with drones)

I am aware which administration thought Henry Kissinger was a brilliant master of international escalation realpolitik


what I'm saying is that the reason the word gets used so much currently is that we just had a political movement with "neo" which had a big impact, therefore people are primed to use that word on the next one that steps up to bat.

Who's doing that? The whole reptoid thing is about old money power brokers controlling things from behind the scenes. Trump is a new money hustler who loves the spotlight. Have u even read Icke?!! Jeeze...
