    I never usually see folks self-identify as "populist". I only ever see that as a way for liberals or conservatives to handwave away the fact that a huge number of people want things like M4A.

    "Well of course everyone wants free healthcare, if you gave people the chance they'd vote for ponies for everyone. And who's gonna pay for that?!"

      “Well of course everyone wants free healthcare, if you gave people the chance they’d vote for ponies for everyone. And who’s gonna pay for that?!”

      On the other hand it is quite sensible to want freedom and safety and for values to be enforced all at the same time. :grillman:
