Once you read the definition, you're more likely to consider it a compliment.

ne·o·lib·er·al
adjective
1. relating to a modified form of liberalism tending to favor free-market capitalism.
noun
1. a person holding neoliberal views.

https://www.google.com/search?q=neoliberal+definition

Neoliberalism or neo-liberalism refers primarily to the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with laissez-faire economic liberalism. Those ideas include economic liberalization policies such as privatization, austerity, deregulation, free trade and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society.

Correct, technically there is a neoliberal R/D mainstream consensus, but colloquially it is used as a derogratory term towards the "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" crew.

ZUCK is the poster child of all that is wrong with neoliberalism. Hey ****face, you are really sponsoring the 2018 version of CPAC, really..... really? Hey man, conservatives buy ads too...

Also it's fun how foreign policy and views on war are rarely a part of the "Is 'NEOLIBERAL' really a compliment?" convo.

Just lol at all the people nitpicking over which % of Hannity Maddow is currently at while ignoring the point Clark was trying to make (current Maddow = terrible).

Clark posts on 2+2 definitely have a strong neolib slant, which is weird and doesn't seem to really fit what I understand of his overall worldview.

CDL is just your classical neolib.

Comparing her to hannity was pretty lol, but I agree that she got hyperfocused on russia and way less interesting to watch after trump.

I basically switched off cable news (which before was 90% maddow) and totally onto wapo / podcasts / twitter / othernewssites

Can you describe the opinion that hurt you? Kinda crazy to have stopped watching Maddow just before the Worst American(TM) became president.

Wow. 2p2 politics was great before Trump but now is basically 60% of a Salem witch hunt lynch mob. Clark is basically 60% of Jesus for exposing leftist FRAUDS like Maddow.

My feeling is that anyone who doesn’t totally toe the Super Prog/Bernie line in here is reflexively lol’d as a Centrist or Neolib. Shrugemoji

This makes people here or in the Twitterverse think I’m like some form of super centrist when in reality no one in the real world would hear my views and call me anything other than a hyper lib.

I think Bernie’s views on trade are lol, absolutely naive on foreign policy, and unrealistic about how broader economic policy works, even as I largely agree with the idea of Bernie’s two/three non-trade talking domestic points (Health Care, 2-years JuCo free, increased taxes on rich) and am even further left on the social justice/equality platform.

Btw it’s amazing how quiet all the Bernie supporters in here are as Trump implements basically exactly the same moronic trade platform that Bernie wanted. Where is all the cheering?

I mean, it was RIP USA#WOAT when the Bernie bros decided to make a protest vote so they can say they didn’t vote for president WOAThill, when but her emails! was a thing when none of those mouth breathers could tell you the first thing about Benghazi including, but not limited to, how it’s spelled or where it is, or when millions stayed home or cast protest votes because they assumed the probability of an outcome meant it was a mathematical certainty

We’re a nation of oblivious self-serving idiots who can’t be bothered to give a **** about what actually matters and would rather take joy in the genuine misery and pain of others as if this is a sporting event and not actual life with actual consequences, get distracted by clickbait and ignore the heinous atrocities that are passed in plain sight with no attention. Rump tearing down Dodd-Frank? Let’s talk about the porn star he ****ed instead
