    “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”.
