I'll give examples: Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer. These are people who make statements about helping working people, and pound their chests at liberal ideals of freedom and equality, but who act to support the ultra-rich and the status quo and don't do a damned thing to help The People if they can possibly help it. And yes, most of them "have no moral code."
Un, both political parties do it. The Democratic party was once for the work class until 1996, where the Clinton, who was fight for political survival after the Republicans swept into congress, adopted their dragconian ideas in order to get elected. Since then, they become corporate, lying in bed with the big banks, big tech and the other Richies. Just remember that then candidate Obama had a meeting with the big tech companies too. The best speech ever given to support the working class was Ted Kennedy's concession speech at the 1980 Democratic convention in New York, City. Go to youtube and search for it. I will blow your mind.
Again, you're talking about the neo-liberals, NOT "the left."
The left in the US today is illiberal.
What is your definition of "neo-liberal"?

I can't believe anyone argues with it.
