If this is populism, we need an injection of it on a regular basis and for a very long time. (Which is why the VP choice matters.)

Here's a dictionary definition of populism...

At its root, populism is a belief in the power of regular people, and in their right to have control over their government rather than a small group of political insiders or a wealthy elite. The word populism comes from the Latin word for "people," populus. Definitions of populism.

And it sounds pretty good to me...

That is some dictionary. It sounds good to me too. I’m just wondering why Levin would want even want to denigrate populism as you have defined it.

Words are funny things. This “populism” used to be called patriotism, national security, sound economic policy.
