    Jeet Heer Retweeted a left-leaning but high-quality polling outlet

    The fact that we're talking about "popularism" now when putative moderates are spiking popular programs is proof that so-called popularism serves the ideological function of shielding party leaders from criticism.https://twitter.com/SeanMcElwee/status/1446904910130331656 …

    It's weird how much the popularism debate focuses on progressives when Sinema is trying to kill prescription drug reform, taxes on the wealthy and Medicare vision and dental which every poll shows are the most popular parts of the Biden agenda.

        If you are arguing Democrats should run more moderate candidates and also that they should do popular things, then it becomes a problem when moderates spike popular things.

        I think the “popularists”, myself included, are vocally and unequivocally against the actions and messaging of the so-called “moderates”

        You can make an argument that the inability of congress to actually _do_ anything to improve the lot of ordinary Americans if a single monied interest might lose out financially as a result, is part of the reason democracy [to the extent it hasn't been bought & sold] is dying...

        I mean, if you read the article, "popularism" is supposed to be focusing on popular policies, as it says, which Manchin and Sinema are not doing since infrastructure spending is popular. That's why it's not called "centrism" or "moderate-ism".

        Matt Yglesias and David Shor have been criticising moderates for this for weeks now.
