      Trump didn’t run on any economic populism this year and won. Kamala did, and lost. It’s the electorate stupid!

        She scrubbed all economic populism from her campaign in the last couple months and pivoted to campaigning with neoconservatives.

        Trump ran on a populist platform that wasn’t limited to economic populism. Harris didn’t have any compelling narrative whatsoever.

        It’s the electorate stupid!

        It’s worth while for the electorate to learn the right lessons. Otherwise there wouldn’t be people in this comment section trying to get everyone to learn the wrong lessons.

            Trump’s populism is christian nationalism. Specifically white christian nationalism. So it’s not going to look Bernie’s populism. And those do whistles are, or at least were before they became so overt, dog whistles.
