"Clintonism" refers to the political ideology and policies associated with former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who served from 1993 to 2001. It is characterized by a centrist approach, often blending traditional liberal values with pragmatic solutions. Key aspects include economic growth through free trade, welfare reform, and a focus on fiscal responsibility, which aimed to reduce the national deficit. The term also encompasses the broader political strategy of the Democratic Party during Clinton's presidency, emphasizing coalition-building and appealing to moderate voters. This approach sought to expand the party's base while addressing issues like healthcare, education, and crime through a balanced, centrist lens.
