Clinton's husband devastated welfare while he was in office. The Democrats don't deregulate and privatize as ruthlessly as they want to because their base will revolt and throw them out if they actually just executed their agenda. I had to double check I was on Hexbear and not :reddit-logo: because this is a a take.

Who cares?
except most of the people doing that are really just mixed economy “good government” liberals
No one listens to them and they're too stupid or ideologically brain poisoned to understand the actual positions and goals of their beloved political leaders
Reagan and Hayek.
Reagan is the arch-Satan of the Left because he's so cartoonishly evil, but Neo-liberal hollowing out of society started before him, with Carter being the first president to really start implementing Neoliberal policies, and they've continued apace since him.
