That's not populism. Also, pretty much every new candidate has to do this -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 07:54
"change" away from Partisanship... - Mel Profit Nov 11, 07:51 3
- "change" means whatever the people hearing it think it means, and it meant a lot of things - Roger More Nov 11, 08:01 2
  - No. Populism involves a certain "take things back from those people!" kind of message, be it "America," the means of production in Latin American - con_carne Nov 11, 08:10 1
    - That's fair enough - he's not populist in the way that, say, Hugo Chavez, was populist. Or like the Tea Party or OWS are populist. - Roger More Nov 11, 08:28
