drat, even though they "lost" the election, they got themselves and their buddies rich as gently caress. Pretty sweet deal. Hey, where can I submit my resume for more pantsuit anthems?

Digiwizzard posted:Economic Liberalism has been about free trade since the very beginning. The leftist economics you're thinking of is Socialism, and the Democrats have refused to touch it since Reagan. Uh, I'll just quote myself from elsewhere: quote:This is what I learned from a podcasted economic geography course I listened to: Also, neoliberal policy is distinct from neoliberal theory. The theory's some antiquated business from the early 1900s. The policy's a class project of the rich that started in the 1970s with the Powell Memo: quote:On August 23, 1971, prior to accepting Nixon's nomination to the Supreme Court, Powell was commissioned by his neighbor, Eugene B. Sydnor Jr., a close friend and education director of the US Chamber of Commerce, to write a confidential memorandum titled "Attack on the American Free Enterprise System," an anti-Communist, anti-New Deal blueprint for conservative business interests to retake America for the chamber.[13][14] It was based in part on Powell's reaction to the work of activist Ralph Nader, whose 1965 exposé on General Motors, "Unsafe at Any Speed," put a focus on the auto industry putting profit ahead of safety, which triggered the American consumer movement. Powell saw it as an undermining of Americans' faith in enterprise and another step in the slippery slope of socialism.[13] His experiences as a corporate lawyer and a director on the board of Phillip Morris from 1964 until his appointment to the Supreme Court made him a champion of the tobacco industry who railed against the growing scientific evidence linking smoking to cancer deaths.[13] He argued, unsuccessfully, that tobacco companies' First Amendment rights were being infringed when news organizations were not giving credence to the cancer denials of the industry. That was the point where Powell began to focus on the media as biased agents of socialism.[13]

I mean TBS' druglord profit fueled posting aside I don't really know what some of the Very Serious Democratic Reformers expect in this thread. Most of it is devoted to reminding everyone what Good Good Opinion Boys we all are and more energy is spent yelling about how everything is horrible. Like, even when we talk about guys like Ellison it becomes 'uh you'll find the establishment only supports him as part of a conspiracy theory that he's going to surely buck' and poo poo. I genuinely have no loving clue what this thread is for other than a place for a few people to gloat about how they were right all along and the party must be set ablaze in penance rather than actual reforms.

Hillary and the DNC cannot fail, they can only be failed, eh Tatum? This thread in the comedy political subforum of these comedy forums is for finding humor in the abject failure that is the Democratic Establishment, and for those who find it's more angering than funny, there is the DPP thread.

Why are you so against letting the people who saw this coming from a mile away try to organize themselves to prevent something like this from happening again? Also the cornbread and communism memes were pretty awesome.

It's not that hard to figure out. We don't like them because they lose constantly.

Captain_Maclaine posted:Neo-liberalism is an economic position that emphasizes, in its current incarnation, free trade and deregulation of domestic finance and industry, plus the sort of third-way stuff the Clinton administration pulled back in the 90s. While it's not therefore necessarily wrong to call Hillary herself a neo-liberal, since she was knee-deep in that stuff back then and hasn't changed her relative stances overmuch, most often when it gets brought up in CSPAM it's just someone slagging on disappointing Democrats by trying to call them the centrist equivalent of the neo-cons of the W era. and people in this thread poo-pooing any suggestion of economic leftism think this is Fine. sure fine enough that we lost an election for it  Gene Hackman Fan posted:(But seriously, totes grampostum has never phrased an argument that wasn't in bad faith.
