Yet, Jared Polis identifies as neo liberal. And identifies Pete Buttigieg as one too.
It’s the ‘kind face’ of colonial capitalism. In my opinion. Fascism the scary face. Both lead to corporate feudalism as far as I can tell. One faster and with less chance to use democracy to improve conditions for the poor through safety nets and unions.
But people aren’t all one thing. Biden has shown that with his relationship with unions.
Like I said, there are neoliberal tendencies among democrats. But to call them “neoliberal” is not accurate. You can’t support government programs like they do and be a neoliberal. It’s antithetical. Neoliberalism is an almost rigid orthodoxy that the free market/invisible hand will solve literally everything. The economy, societal woes, foreign policy, you name it. Deregulate and privatize everything not nailed down. The modern Democratic party isn’t remotely like that.

That’s fair. I’ve always been a bit surprised that Jared Polis self identifies that way tbh.
Some folks really do all but worship the invisible hand it’s a bit bizarre.
I also do understand why people call Democrats “neoliberals” but I just can’t help and go to the mat over it lol
They do seem to be of the opinion that it’s attached to the wrist of God, yes.
