Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated earnings of a diminishing number of producers.
This failure is a byproduct of a tsunami of government regulations, mandates, and taxes which has nearly destroyed the innovation and business and job-creation that made the American economy so vibrant over the latter part of the 20th century. That innovation has now moved overseas, along with the loss of millions of high-paying goods-producing jobs.
The reaction of the self-described "progressives" to this dire scenario? Sweep the facts under the rug or ignore them completely, as it appears that the most important things in their lives are the legalization of gay marriage, free contraceptives and abortifacients, worshiping at the altar of extreme and discredited environmentalism, mocking and undermining all organized religion (except islam), and telling the American people what they can eat, where they can live, what may be taught in their schools, how they must operate their businesses, and what health care they can access.

American neo-liberals are the most self-indulgent, arrogant, and spoiled group of people on the face of the earth. They live in a nation facing national bankruptcy and societal upheaval -- a country presently subsisting on the residue of past economic achievements. 
Yet the only things that matter to them are their lifestyles and imposing their self-determined superiority on rest of the American people. To the true believers on the left, re-electing themselves is not a matter of what is or is not good for the country; rather, for the majority on the left, the primary motivation is geared solely toward defeating their sworn enemy: conservatives and Republicans, whom many falsely believe are a right-wing horde determined to create a theocracy and impose old-fashioned morality. But what they fear most from the right is a determination to reinstitute unfettered individual freedom and concomitant economic growth, which would relegate the American left to the back bench of American society.
Thus, to them, what the policies of neo-liberal/democrats are doing to the long-term fate of nation is immaterial as long as they regurgitate their support for the various causes that are near and dear to the coalition that makes up the left. There are two common threads to the belief system of American progressives:
1) an omnipotent central government controlled by them, and
2) an assumption that there is a bottomless pit of money to be siphoned from an equally bottomless pit of wealth.
But this is not the same nation that experienced unprecedented prosperity from 1946 to 2007 and then again under Trump. It is not the same nation in which these narcissists on the left grew up, never knowing national adversity or trauma. The manner in which these self-described "progressives" are conducting themselves in the current campaign season is indicative of their arrogant and immature mindset. To the vast majority on the left, this campaign is merely a game played out on the playground of American politics, wherein they childishly engage in name-calling and temper tantrums reminiscent of spoiled brats determined to get their way, regardless of the consequences.
It is time for neo-liberals/democrats to grow up and understand that the America that could absorb all the excessive spending, promises, and left-wing fun and games is no more. This nation cannot survive on its present course, and if that course is not dramatically reversed, those on the left will suffer as much as if not more than the bulk of the American people they are trying to rule. History has shown repeatedly that when an overwhelming political and social catastrophe strikes a nation, the people turn against the ruling class, often with a vengeance. In the United States, that ruling class is presently dominated by the American left.
