    What, Clinton/Gore? You mean the administration responsible for pulling the Democratic party to the neoliberal right? That’s your fucking hoped-for reaction?

      SMH my head.

      You’re mixing up which Clinton dragged the party to the right.

        … am I? Which Clinton is the leftist, here? Please, tell me about how Bill wasn’t actually a neoliberal?

        Or worse, tell me how Hillary is actually a leftist?

        Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall. That is a huge reason for our financial situation right now. It was a big gift to Republicans and the rich. Clinton was a terrible president. He was better than Bush would have been and better than Dole, but I’m not going to go much farther than that. He was as right as you could get (at the time) for a Democrat.
