??The West Wing both reflected and shaped the Democratic Party in the early years of the 21st Century, as they abandoned its coalition of workers, women, and racial minorities in favor of suburban professionals. The show was dismissive of anything they viewed as trying to push them to The Left™, in favor of chasing wealthy, white voters in a movement known as Neoliberalism.

Today, many of our biggest crises are a result of the wealth inequality brought about by neoliberal policies, but the ideology has recently undergone a rebrand under the name "Abundance."
