When you look up neoliberalism on Wikipedia, it talks about Reagan, Thatcher, and Pinochet who are conservatives. But /r/neoliberal and Biden are neoliberals who are proud liberals

      Thanks for writing this up, I really appreciate it.

      So basically both Reagan and Biden both neoliberal because they believe that free-market capitalism is the best economic system. But they disagree on cultural/identity issues and that's why they are in different parties (even though Biden used to agree with Reagan on many issues in the 70s and 80s like busing).

      But apparently, being a racist not in vogue in the Democratic party today so Biden has to play along so he doesn't alienate the voting base?
