RT @daveweigel: “They’re going to sound like Bernie in 2015” is the way to go here. He had an economic populism w heterodox cultural views (guns and immigration) tested by decades of elections. The Early Woke Dems beat him with a more identity-focused campaign that turned out to be a generational disaster. And Bernie moved left on identity stuff in 2020 to win fewer votes.

Every single Democrat is not going to sound like Bernie two years from now

I was tempted to call this Bernie's Moses moment—leading the Dems to a new populist moment despite not being on the ballot himself. But we're far, far from a Promised Land.

RT @davidsirota: This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

RT @unherd: Democratic "Third Way" centrism just died. Welcome to the age of Left populism. ✍️ @ryan_zickgraf

It wasn’t that long ago that left populism was on the ropes. What the midterms made clear is that the it’s actually the Third Way Clinton-Obama establishment that’s dead. Me in @unherd

PA state democrats right now say: First order of business is to double the minimum wage

Time to dust off a classic

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
