LOSING your entitled upper CLASS OFF! Unapologetic Neoliberal Boy Wonder explains how his near win kept the Suburbs safe from Working Class values.

Techno-enthusiast Jon Ossoff focusing on Working Class
Centered Campaign.  JK!  He said f*** those guys
that work at the BK lounge, I'm bringing tech jobs
to rich suburbanites that can afford college!

Running a campaign in the time honored tradition established by the Clintons and other “3^rd Way” neoliberal democrats in the 1990s, boy genius Jon Ossoff led the democratic party to a soaring almost-win  in the Northern Suburbs of Atlanta in a special election on June 20^th.   

Noting that"a lack of citizen engagement allowed darkness to creep in and gain a foothold in our democracy," Ossoff, like his proud neoliberal role models, refused to shoulder absolutely any responsibility for the lack of citizen engagement (in the form of working class votes) which might have translated into a actual victory.  

Ironically, Ossoff ran in the same party which once so dominated the political scene through it’s democratic socialist policies known as the New Deal, that an opposition party President, Ike Eisenhower, said that only idiots were opposed to these policies!   And all this during the greatest period of Economic Growth the US has ever known! 

Teddy Roosevelt and FDR , actual Progressives, who supported high taxes on the wealthy
wondered what the hell Ossoff meant when he said he "struck a blow in this
new era for progress."   "He doesn't even support raising taxes on the rich, like
I did, and I was a wealthy Republican, said TR.  "He's a total poser said FDR, but he sure is cute."

Observers were amazed with Jon Ossoff’s obvious dark sense of humor as he laughingly ruled out raising taxes on the wealthiest in our society and then claimed he promoted “fiscal responsibility”, claiming to support Medicare and Medicaid as he likewise ruled out any talk of a single payer health care system which might take care of all people. 

President LB Johnson, who actually created Medicaid and
Medicare was totally shocked that Ossoff refused to try
to do any better than resting on the laurels of the
programs he created over 50 years ago, saying,
"that dog won't hunt Jon.  You gotta aim
higher than that unless you are just a neoliberal
putz."

 Like a perfect neoliberal, he ran an “economy” first campaign, again pointing out the irony of being on a party ticket with the likes of Franklin Roosevelt who clearly ran a “working people  first” kind of campaign and won 4 consecutive elections!   This guy was hilarious!  And he touted his “enormous turnout” that utterly failed to mobilize working class voters, which was a big surprise to everyone since his “message” was utterly devoid of any issues that might attract them to vote for a so-called Democrat!    Noting that he was totally committed to values which all social liberals were committed to, he happily overlooked any kind of economic values that might have won him the election and his supporters were overjoyed that he’s staying in the fight and staying on the message that has brought the neoliberal Democrats to the point they are at now.   It might be a long way from the era where the economic progress of the US for the working class was on the rise, such as in the progressive gains from the 1890s-1920s or the late 1930s-1960s, but this good old fashioned 1990s  neoliberal message of values that appeal to the well heeled upper class suburbanites is a message that he’s “not done fighting for.”
