Thomas Frank on Populism

“Populism is America’s way of expressing class antagonism. It is a tradition of rhetorical protest that extends from Jefferson to FDR to Bernie Sanders…But protest isn’t the property of any particular party. the Democrats are lost in a fantasy of white-collar benevolence. their leaders have little personal sympathy any longer with the travails of working people. Populism isn’t the name for this disease; it’s the cure.”
