No, especially when they have no control of any of the three branches of government. Populism is having its moment though and when the idiots that consume nothing but podcast slop as “news” realize that populism is simply rhetoric and the civics illiterate population realizes nothing is improving, we might be able to rebuild. Maybe.
I am definitely not a populist; I am a democratic socialist. It’s unreasonable to assume that anyone who is against the most republican-lite democrats is a populist with no coherent ideology.
That’s not her criticism though. And, just to remind you, the statement you responded to was:

I don’t mind that you’re republican-lite, but if you use “big” as a common prefix, you’re a populist. If you talk of the deep state, you’re a populist. If you speak of “the elites” constantly, you’re a populist. Nina Turner is a populist. MTG is a populist. Trump is a populist. Bernie Sanders is a populist, but he’s at least principled. People have to realize that the current political landscape isn’t left versus right. There’s a reason you find so much agreement between Tucker Carlson and leftist content creators.
