Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

    Democrats hit 27% approval this week…

    That’s ironically the level Schumer said Dems would start doing stuff when Trump hit.

    No one likes neoliberals, or their policies

    It’s just not an effective political strategy, regardless of how you try to look at it. Even ignoring popularity with voters, even when neoliberals get elected, they refuse to do anything.

    The entire purpose of it is doing nothing, it’s political nihilism.

      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.

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