    It’s better than the Democrats intentionally murdering people in camps.

    The would in a heartbeat if they thought they could get one Republican vote for doing so.

    Neoliberals in office aren’t going to solve our problems, but it gives us time to do the work to solve them.

    Neoliberals ARE our problem. We’ve had half a century of incrementalists demanding that we just wait a little more for them to get around to moving the needle to the left, and instead they move so far to the right that they’re buddy-buddy with Netanyahu and the Cheneys. Incrementalism says “too soon” until it’s too late.

      Again, don’t lie. The Democratic Party can of course move that far, but they have yet to do so.

      Neoliberals ARE our problem.

      Neoliberalism is the problem. Neoliberals can be tomorrow’s socialists. But we have to put in the work and educate people. My argument already refuted this point, I recommend reading it.

        Just wait. Incrementalism will get you there.

        You have unfounded faith in neolliberals’ willingness to move any direction other than right.

          If your arguments actually referenced mine in any meaningful way you would know I have addressed these points in this comment section multiple times. As it stands, a casual refutation of your arguments is now sufficient. edit: typo

            Yes, with “leverage power we don’t have against people who would rather lose than stop throwing people under the bus.”

              We do have this power. We elected Joe Biden in 2020. Your argument pretends we don’t at the expense of minorities and our ability to prevent the worst outcomes of climate change.

                And oh shucky dern, his hands were always conveniently tied. Except when it came time to sell weapons for genocide.

                Democrats consider minorities expendable in their unending quest for Republican votes.
