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!

Under neoliberal policies of deregulation, privatisation, austerity and corporate trade, their living standards have declined precipitously.
Yet another definition of neoliberal. Aren't those just regular modern American conservative policies? The conservative Republicans always run on deregulation, Bush-Cheney privatised the military for the Iraq war, western Republicans want to sell off park land, the Republican congress opposed Obama's infrastructure plan by insisting on austerity as a response to the Great Recession, etc etc.

That's all just straight-up conservative, tho it is the reason for declining living standards. Just blaming the wrong people.
