r/neoliberal announces it will permanently ban anyone who suggests the Democrats should focus more on economics and less on gender politics

Rule Clarifications

Howdy all, given what we've been seeing in the mod queue and what you've certainly all been seeing out and about we wanted to be clear on our stance here.

r/neoliberal is a liberal sub, we support liberal values. These include but are not limited to supporting a person's right to live their lives free of discrimination or interference.

We've seen a large uptick in comments stating that democrats should abandon certain groups (specifically transgender people) in order to gain votes. Let's be clear, this is not our sub's position - we support trans rights, we support minority rights, we support freedoms of movement and expression.

Anyone making these comments will be permanently banned, we've had enough. Like Jesus fricking Christ, be better.

Example of what's okay to say: "I'm afraid democrats will abandon X group to earn votes"

Example of what's not okay to say: "democrats should abandon X group to earn votes"

This feels straightforward but apparently has to be said. Please use the report button to help us enforce this policy, as there are many comments we otherwise don't see (there are maybe a dozen of us active, and the sub has gotten tens of thousands of comments in the past 24 hours).

Just be kind. It's easy. God bless.

According to Wikipedia Neoliberalism is "both a political philosophy and a term used to signify the late-20th-century political reappearance of 19th-century ideas associated with free-market capitalism". Apparently caring about free markets more than legalizing over the counter puberty blockers is incompatible with neoliberalism, though. Incidentally, did anyone else really like Bernie's policies but not vote for him because he's a priviliged white man???? !neolibs

Yikes! Once it was clear Kamala was just republican lite, I knew the election was over. We really need a candidate that will ban oil drilling, defund police, raise taxes, piss in farmers' Cheerios, and abolish ICE. They'd be a shoo-in!

Idk, the country is more polarized than ever, maybe the Dems would get better turnout if their candidate actually represented something their voter base wants. Maybe something they could get excited about? Something different from the status quo?

An actual Kamala policy idea was $20,000 of student loan forgiveness, but only for Pell Grant recipients who started and maintained a successful business in a disadvantaged area for 3 years.

Kamala ran much farther to the left in the primaries and failed miserably.

Yes, and banning fracking

Yep, she should have promised $10/gallon gas. Maybe $20. Drastic measures like that are necessary to save the planet, you can't only ban fracking, you gotta strangle the oil industry as a whole.

I've been saying this for the whole election. There's so many things they could have done to win a landslide against Trump but they refuse to. There's always something more important to them than winning. Like not hurting Biden's feelings or picking a black woman candidate.

It's real bad this time because let's be real, Trump didn't run a good campaign for the most part.

No grand promises that energized people like wall, bringing back jobs, and MAGA slogan. No iconic debate performances. A month ago he was spending time streaming with some guy who literally sniffs chairs Andrew Tate sits on.

Drumpf got 43% of zoomers, thats pretty good. It mist have worked.

>black 13%

Despite being just 13% of black people, black people who vote trump are responsible for 100% of black votes for trump

R-slurs are over thinking the election lol. The idea trans politics is why or has anything to do with it is wild.

It might not be a top issue per se but :marseytrain: shit is just like the worst case of woke evangelicalism and not something you'd want attached to your campaign

Like at the end of the day it's mostly ugly neurodivergent and entitled privileged moids in skirts shrieking about a genocide that's not happening

My point is basically every voter that decided the election was low information "i have no idea whats going on but im poor and the government must to be blame" voters.

I see these people all day lol. Id be amazed if :marseytrain2:s ever crossed their minds.

I don't think it's :!marseytrain:s specifically, but Democrats have no problem messaging that they're the party of women, strags, and have an entirely different definition of "man" than most men.

I think that put off a lot of non-college men who would otherwise consider voting for them. They certainly didn't want to talk about potentially voting for them with chud coworkers

LGBTQ issues don't impact the majority of the population, people need to be realistic and understand a number of people will prioritize the economy even if they support gay rights

These voters are economically illiterate, no amount of policy explanation can change that. Personal finance is the furthest they will go, and the average American has awful personal finances.

After that there's nothing but abortion and racial/sexual minority issues to distinguish themselves from Republicans. I truly think people are rubbed the wrong way by the DNC's embrace of gender woo shit, no matter how they try to hide or not draw attention that it.
