Unless you are the head of the Democatic Party and have added a required loyalty oath to a speciic fiscal ideological policy, you have absolutely nothing factual to say the issue.

And since you chose to make a personal attack, it shows that you have no argument and nothing of worth to add.

Show me anywhere that the Democratic Party requires its members to adhere to a strict ideological political philosophy.

You can not, because such a requirement does not exist. And you have no valid proof because you can not read the minds of all neo-liberals in the party.

You just don't like their fiscal policies. Which is fine, because I don't agree with their fiscal polices.
