    No one likes neoliberals

    51% of voters consistently vote for Democrats.

    Barack fucking OBAMA was a neoliberal.

    If you think neolibs are unpopular, you’re in quite a bubble.

      It’s not like people have a lot of choice. George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney are also neoliberals.

        Just accentuating my point here. Some flavor of neollib has won every presidential election in my lifetime, except Trump.

        Kind of, yeah. I don’t think the analogy holds up though. Half the population doesn’t think neolibs are fake news.
