I should have said the first time that I totally get your frustration Shawn, and I agree with you that popularism sounds pretty vague and wishy washy. But right now the Democratic party is not one that ordinary people can relate to very well. The things you hear them talk about the most are climate change and racism. Both are abstract things that don't affect most people's daily lives. So if nothing changes, Democrats will keep losing votes from lower class working folks while saying they are for the little guy. Keep losing black votes while saying they care so much about diversity. And keep losing hispanic votes while saying how much they care about immigrants. It's too late to save the mid-terms but if Democrats want to win in 2024 they need to have more to offer normal voters.
"The things you hear them talk about" are the things the media highlights. They talk about plenty of other things, but you only get to hear about these specific items. Why do you think that is?
