Apparently the hated neoliberal system worked to save the economy.http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2014/07/if-left-wants-scapegoats-just-look-mirror …
@sesmithesq Uh, I find it ludicrous to argue the hated neoliberal system worked. It worked to keep banks afloat, not human beings.

@emptywheel Drum makes that point too, but argues that the system didn't change b/c most "human beings" didn't want it to. -
@sesmithesq No. Not actually what he argued. Also made silly claims abt what Obama couldn't do. But straw men are easy to slay. -
@emptywheel To wit: "Our goal was to persuade the public to move in a liberal direction, and that didn't happen..." -
@sesmithesq An easy argument that ignores the Princeton report on how we don't get the leg people actually want. -
@emptywheel Doesn't ignore Princeton, just notes that it wasn't in cards to change that dynamic right now.
