    Do neoliberals campaign against trickle down economics? Nope.

    Yes, they do. Obama, both Clintons, and to a lesser extent Biden are all at least predominantly driven by neoliberal ideology.

    The caricature of neoliberalism as an unchanging belief brought forth immaculately by Regan and Thatcher is what they don’t align with.

    Real neoliberalism, in actual practice, prefers market solutions with the government working to address externalities in the system.

    It’s basically what broad-spectrum liberals and progressives across the board want, which is why socialists demonize it so much.
