        Neoliberal doesn’t even have a definition anymore. People just say it to disparage anyone they want to.

        Biden doesn’t fit many of any of the metrics of a neoliberal.

        He’s not huge on privatization, he opposes austerity measures, he has been a proponent of much greater regulation, and he sure as shit isn’t a proponent on cutting government spending.

        In 1980s, he was not liberal. Held him back.

        According to the progressives: “at least it wasn’t Bernie.”

        Two elections running…
