    I didn’t say progressive. Progressive is a very broad term that can apply to all sorts of things.

    I said economic-populist. One of the few things nearly all of us agree on in this country, is that the corporations and the ownership class have too much power in politics, and they’re getting that power by stealing money from the working class. Trump was good at speaking to that, without actually doing much to help. The Democrats did some to help. But not enough, and they didn’t want to sell it much for fear of scaring off the ownership/donor class.

    Leave behind all the racial, sexual, social justice progressive stuff. It’s divisive and won’t help you win. Helping the poor generally, will disproportionately help those people more anyway. Just without putting them in the spot light.

      I don’t understand this, he campaigned with Musk, flaunted the idea of offering him a cabinet position and Musk stated the people would suffer under his policies. That’s about as pro corporate as it gets.

        You’re still not internalizing or groking that everything he says is some kind of lie, and can’t be taken literally.
