quote [ I’ve been angry and disgusted about a lot of things since Election Day. But over the past few days I’ve been angrier than Jack Nicholson’s character from The Shining to see all these so-called “progressives” come out of the fucking woodwork to crucify Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) for voting against one amendment to a budget reconciliation bill that could have allowed Americans to buy cheaper imported prescription drugs from Canada — even though the amendment wasn’t going to become law ]
I'm not sure I endorse these sentiments, but let's have a spirited discussion about them!

FYI- the the actual definition of Neoliberalism, which actually bears only glancing resemblance to your fanciful explanation.
Nothing to do with actual modern ideological liberalism or progressive social causes, it's pretty much an economic philosophy that emphasized free markets, minimal governmental regulation, and unfettered trade. Much as you love to call Hillary Clinton and Obama 'Neoliberals', the term might be more accurately applied to someone like Paul Ryan or the Koch brothers. And yes, I recognize that you may draw little distinction between all these people.
