    How pathetic, they're fully embracing being the moderate republicans.

    MFW Democrats are primarily DINOS (because NRINOS or not-republican-in-name-only doesn't exactly roll off the tongue).

      Bush/Cheney

      moderate republicans

      Forgive me for my ignorance as a Spanish person, but how in the fuck is "Illegal invasion of Iraq... I mean Ukraine" guy a moderate? And didn't Cheney literally get a Christian Bale movie portraying how comically evil he is?

        I fear they're the new moderate.

        We saw in Obama, dems are in no rush to move anything back to the left and George Bush has been all but absorbed by the neoliberal establishment.

          neocons

          That's the exact term, yes. The Bush Doctrine was the apex of their ideology. Neocons were known for advocating interventionist wars and eventually "preliminary strikes." Reagan's administration and the Republican Revolution of '94 (when Republicans took the majority in both the house and senate) are also considered neoconservative.

        Why though? That would imply they’re failing to live up to a higher ideal the Democratic Party is supposed to embody, when we all know no such thing exists. They’re all empty soulless suits because that’s what their party wants and selects for

      Just call them what they are, fascists.
