Imagine being an American that calls themselves a progressive populist and shunning """identity politics""". Like, are you really going to pretend that the Civil Rights Movement wasn't one of the most powerful progressive populist movements in American history? Are you going to pretend that the golden age of trade unionism wasn't broken, in part, by the failure to build solidarity between marginalized groups?
There's this deep decrepitude of character at the heart of people like Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, where they have to imagine that their views are popular and that they're the manifest mouthpieces of the people. Just like God and Evangelicals, Cenk and Ana find that whatever their most base instincts and desires are somehow match up perfectly with what they perceive the common person to want.
