If I hear a lib dismiss another left leader as “JuSt AnOtHeR PoPuLisT” ....
Populists are how most people besides politics-obsessed freaks get into politics
I feel like chapo appeals more to the white middle class libs while more working class minorities listen to jimmy dore.
And we do need different entry points for different groups.
I don't understand what's 'smooth brain' about this. Trump voters are working class. A huge amount of them voted for Trump not because he's a racist, but because he's a populist who - during his campaign at least - spoke to working class interests. Now unfortunately he didn't actually do anything along those interests, which isn't surprising - but regardless, there is a section of Trump voters who are very susceptible to being radicalized to leftism. Especially now after he's failed to come through for them.
He's okay, but there's limited depth, and after watching a few of his videos, you begin to notice some patterns of grifty dogma.
Most of his audience skews Gen X/Boomer.
