    Since the label is an issue for some, let’s call them healthy policies, and then whichever platform supports the most healthy policies, vote for them, and if they get enough majority to pass the healthy policies we all do better! This is how to advance, not swing back and forth flippantly, and ruin progress each time they go maga, and then complain about shooting self in foot, ffs.

      The label is an issue for anyone whose studied political history past the 1970s when when Stagflation and Reganomics occurred and The Third Way became the dominant “liberal” position/meaning in representative government. Aka economic liberalization.

      That prosperity comes from protecting and serving the best business conditions, and that that is serving the people (rather than the previous model, that prosperity comes from serving and protecting a good quality of life/conditions for the people directly).

      With this political belief came market deregulation, privatization of public services, and markets as partners or cooperators of government.
