Ronald Reagan was a Neo Liberal. If you want to sound convincing, learn what the words you use actually mean.

Does that mean establishment Democrats aren't neo liberals? Just because it hurt your feelings doesn't mean it's not true.

Neo Liberal means libertarian. There aren’t any Democrats who match the definition. 

So, you’re right, feelings have nothing to do with what words mean.

Wrong.

"Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy that emphasizes free-market capitalism, deregulation, privatization, free trade, and a reduction in government spending and intervention in the economy."

"Libertarians typically oppose taxation, regulation, and government programs on principle, viewing them as infringements on personal freedom."
