The media and the left are trying very hard to assign the negative word "populist" to our movement...

Good point.

But it's ironic that "populist" is now a pejorative. Because when Algore and the media described his 2000 campaign as "populist", they meant it as a compliment.

At least part of it is payback for making the term "liberal" so hated since the Reagan years, I think.
