      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.

            Where were the price controls to control price gouging? Where were the rent controls to fight corporate landlords and their price fixing? She mentioned this stuff once back in August and then that part of her agenda got really quiet for some reason.

              She brought that up in one of her last town halls. And if she already said it, and it was well known, what’s the issue? Remember Trump’s platinum plan.

                Did she? I didn’t hear about that.

                And if she doesn’t mention it more than once, people interpret that as her not being serious. Telling people “It’s on the website!” is terrible campaign strategy.

        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.
