New poll reveals Americans’ economic pessimism, sparking calls for Democrats to embrace populism. Forecasters warn US economy may be on the brink of recession.
Is “economic populism” like what you do when the people want socialism but you can’t say or deliver it?
Democratic pollster John Anzalone took stock of the poll in a post on X and said that it “shows how important it is for Dems to get a strong economic message” given that “70% of people said they believe the American dream no longer holds true.”
Whenever you see the Democrats look at the current fascist hellhole and draw conclusions about messaging, you know they still aren’t sincerely working for the people.
i’m tired of the american dream. i always wake up screaming.
I predict rolled up sleeves and hard hat photo ops.
Tell 'em to come get me when they’re ready to endorse Mamdani.

“Economic populism”
That’s not any of the words the people at the protests have been saying
We’re really gonna have to throw out the lot of them, aren’t we?
This next election, I am voting for socialism no matter who.
The Democrats can decide if they want my vote.
I fucking hate that is the reality right now.
Like they really don’t get it after TWO Trump presidencies.
Dem still playing the fucking middle.
They’re not playing the middle of anything they’re a sliver less far right with more inclusive words only.
They may get it but they certainly don’t want to do it. So they try to brush people off with words and “messaging”.
