Others will. Neoliberalism was an unknown term 15 years ago amongst the public. Today, people are waking up and are opposing it via progressive populism especially Gen Z and millenials. Hopefully this change can occur before neoliberals and finance capitalism finishes destroying the planet and impoverishing the working class and eroding our democracy

IMO conflating Democrats with "liberals" was one of the greatest strokes of propaganda the rightwing has pulled off in the last few decades.

Bush/Cheney familiarized us all with "neoconservative" in 2000 which it turns out were just new, aggressive conservatives. So it stands to reason that for many in the U.S. "neoliberal = new aggressive liberals" even though neoliberalism is the de facto platform of both major parties.
