Man, you’re wrong a lot in this thread. Of course there are both left and right wing versions of populism.
The Democratic leader in the US Senate is boasting about having prevented an industrial project from happening.
plato's republic. aristotle criticized. communal ownership of property etc.

choke on that shit all night motherfckers. that's a poly sci degree with an emphasis in political philosophy
I'll defend C.O. Populism is an arbitrary term that is used ubiquitously to describe things we don't agree with or like. Like the "isms" it's overused and has become a useless term that should be retired from modern day discussion. I got you Professor 😁
well he's trying to teach them. like coh on this board. my gen and gen z just don't get it. ryan reynolds is a nerd btw.
Martin Kove accused of biting, then kissing, 'Cobra Kai' co-star Alicia Hannah-Kim's arm
Martin Kove of 'Cobra Kai' bit co-star Alicia Hannah-Kim's arm hard enough to leave a bruise, a police report says. The incident happened at a fan convention.

I've tried to make this point on here. Older Democrats are drastically different than younger Democrats. However, they've spent the last 10 years crying about Trump while their party was taken over by a bunch of dumb socialists.
AOC needs to get her 2028 campaign in gear yesterday. Democratic primary voters have spoken loud and clear that they know what they want.
Dumb. Sounds like you just wished shit stain had grabbed you by the pussy
None of that negates the fact that it is possible, and there have been historical examples of, populist movements on both the left and right. It's downright silly to argue otherwise.
i don't know how long i've told the lefties on this board that she is the party. that progressivism isn't some far left fringe part of the party that it is the party. we saw it loud and clear in biden's first 100 days. aoc will be the dem candidate in 2028
and there's nothing worse and more dangerous to the country we love
Honestly, I have no clue what you guys are discussing because that would require me to read all the posts 😳 My main objective was protecting "The Prof" at all costs. Putting that aside, I don't put much stock in anything we can't properly measure.
She's a bad b#tch. We are going to have our hands full in 28. If the economy isn't humming along, she'll be the next President.
You might want to rethink your stance on Bitcoin @JamieDimonsBalls. Eventually, the socialists get to take over and control the capital in this dog shit fiat system. Take the orange pill. That's goes for you too @twenty02.

I'm not sold she will be, but if she is, you're the first one here to have predicted it.
But there is no question that the woke progressives are surging within the party. All the gaslighting about how they're nobodies who have no pull or affect on American life is proven, yet again, wrong.

Wait. Progressives don’t want to raise the debt ceiling? When did that flip flop happen?S
Schumer was not well-liked by progressives before voting to raise the debt ceiling. Now he is hated. An endorsement of Cuomo would never have helped. He likely will lose to AOC.

Why is that second accolade not in your sig?
Imagine all the arguments you could have won or just ended by scaring people into not wanting to disagree with you?
Maybe in a nit picking sense. But certainly not at a fundamental level. But I’m willing to read more.
he starts with class separation and economic oppression. I don’t think that is populism.
Heading out the door until until early evening. Briefly Aristotle is not in the free stuff camp.
I notice you didn't say "free stuff to the poor." Again, as I said, you don't understand Marxism. Or Marx.
I'm guessing you've never even read his work, right?
I think the difference between MAGA and left wing populism is that MAGA wants to go back to what made America great.
Left wing populism seeks to remake America into something entirely new and “better”.
I never said he and Trump had the same policies.
Bernie has often been called a left-wing populists. They have different beliefs from right-wing. The idea that an "elite" is crushing them is the populist message.
this is a good post and accurate.
i was all in on the last election and trump because harris/biden/pete/aoc/squad etc are all progressives. i wanted progressivism to lose and die off and i thought that would be the case if trump won.
i was wrong. it's not going anywhere. and i think that's a shame on a couple of fronts. ignoring the warts or merits of it the reality is that it evidences our divide. ny city, chicago, calif, see and want a country that is very much polar to what all of those red counties between ny and calif want. you add it up that divide is pretty damn equal. so we have a country that isn't divided in the middle over minor matters we have a country that is divided in political extremes over very fundamental things. i don't think that's a healthy thing for a country.
so i'm going to miss you and so many other posters but i am glad this board is ending because i'm going to tap on politics and double down on The McBee Dynasty and other shows and maybe take an interest in the championship this fall etc. i think politics are going to be really ugly for years to come
I’m not sure reactionary is the right word, Brad. I don’t think most conservatives are against change reflexively. We just don’t think this country is fundamentally flawed and in need of a total overhaul.
I know. I'm just pointing out that we shouldn't soft sell Mamdani's socialism. He doesn't have "tendencies" that happen to be socialist, he IS a socialist.
As you know, I don't consider that, in and of itself, pejorative.
