    Which is crazy to me. He’s a huge neolib. He may be more progressive than anticipated, but he certainly isn’t on the left.

      Neoliberal doesn’t even have a definition anymore. People just say it to disparage anyone they want to.

      Biden doesn’t fit many of any of the metrics of a neoliberal.

      He’s not huge on privatization, he opposes austerity measures, he has been a proponent of much greater regulation, and he sure as shit isn’t a proponent on cutting government spending.
