Those of us who used to vote Dem, read and heed

Naomi Klein has a great piece in the Guardian today, which I’m not gonna go find the link for.

Basically she says the Dem party has gone Full Neoliberal and embraced the politics of supporting the Davos Class of transnational capitalists, and this is why they allowed a Trump takeover. I suspect most of us agree.

The capstone quote for me was “The Democratic party needs to be either decisively wrested from pro-corporate neoliberals, or it needs to be abandoned.”

I love Naomi.

Wow. That’s almost precisely what I posted months ago, including a link to a brilliant article on neoliberalism. Yet I seem to recall you turning into an attack dog, and giving me shit for choosing to vote for Stein.

Now you’re referencing Klein in a laudatory manner.

Flip. Flop.

Almost precisely?

Do you want me to list the ways in which it is different from what you posted?

I’d have to start with the presentation.

Insufferable pedant.
