    Carter was pre-Reagan. This was before the neoliberals took over the Democratic Party.

    Clinton mostly accepted Republican framing of the economy, that taxes on the rich need to be low for… Reasons.

    The main argument of the neoliberals is that while conservatives are “right” about a bunch of their policies and shit, they’re just bad at running everything.

    Carter was before that shit. Back when we said that conservative policy was heartless and evil.

    Some in the Democratic Party are coming back to this simple idea.
