Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
Have you watched any of his campaign events? He talks about making change not about being anti Trump or establishment. The does talk about his stances and what he wants to fight for. Beating Collins is obviously a huge part of his campaign because he’s got to beat her but he’s definitely “for something”.
It’s easy to fall into reporting that paints certain candidates a certain way, it’s worth going out to a campaign event (if you’re local) or watching one to form your own opinion. The Internet is a biased place, some places aren’t outright smearing him but they try to discredit him by saying repeating stuff like you are. Everything I’ve seen and heard from him is that he is more than just an “anti establishment” guy and wants to build a progressive populist movement for the people.
i havent seen him or payed much attention to him. still i trust certain sources (and i know that i will be getting a lot of hate for that opinion, but i like wikipedia) about stuff unless other evidence presents. you are saying he is more than that / different than that. good! i will have to pay more attention to him in the future. i am not local or even from the US but i am still interested.
regarding populism: the core component of it is that you need to be in the victim role as in “us small people against them” which is by definition anti establishment.
dont get me wrong, i agree that the democratic party is bad as in established and lazy and too close to the corporations. i am just very careful when it comes to populism because it can allow a person to change course very quickly based on that stance.
We’ve had the opposite of populism for a very long time. It’s time to start balancing it out and fighting back against the ultra wealthy and corps that own our country through lobbying and cronyism.
