    Did you know she was speaker of the house? That’s, like, a big deal.

    It doesn’t matter what random Democrats think (obviously), it matters what the leadership thinks.

      This is almost repeating the argument that is literally what the OP is getting at.

      The point is democrats and republicans are not the fucking same and people who say they are are not serious people or worth serious consideration.

        So, to repeat the question, do you think the Democratic Party, of which Pelosi is a leader and not even the most right wing one, opposes the neoliberal order?

          That isn’t the question, that is a pivot, but fuck it I’ll bite.

          Do you really need to fucking use the term “neoliberal order”? You sound like you are talking about an evil cabal in Deus Ex. I can’t take it seriously. Just say capitalism. Do they oppose capitalism as a whole party? No.

          But some of them individually certainly seem to and the ones talking to most leftwing politics are doing generally pretty decently right now in primaries and generals.

          But whatever, really at this point who fucking cares? No one gives a fuck about reality anymore and the world is going to collapse into garbage regardless. Getting democrats at this point is just an opiate vs getting republicans which would be more like being fucked by a knife on our collective deathbed.

          Give me the drug. I prefer the drug over the knife fucking. OK? Its that simple.
