      So, literally, whether she is right is irrelevant?

      Yes. The voters get to decide that. Not you.

      The voters, not the members? Because the voters just elected her pretty overwhelmingly, and did not re-elect Trump.

      "She's there to do what we tell her" is everything wrong with American democracy.

      Let me rephrase. "My rep is there to just be a megaphone for whatever I think" is everything wrong with American democracy. Don't make me tap the Burke quote Dan had up.

      Burke is wrong. Convince the Democrats. You’ve lost us.

      "Burke is wrong" means you should hand in your conservative card. I have no idea what party you should be in, but it's not a conservative one.

      I don’t know. But probably not the one that supports Biden and AOC. It’s new. It’s a new right. I’m proud of it.

      There's always a populist rabble wandering around somewhere, but that's not really a "party" or "left" or "right," it's just a populist rabble. Tea Party, OWS, they all end up squabbling and dissolving and achieving nothing, but it's fun for a while, I guess.

      The Tea Party actually believed in things. So, unfortunately, did OWS.

          But in the end (and @DaliborRohac just made this point a day ago), populism just plain sucks at getting anything done as a policy vehicle.

          I'd argue that the Tea Party believed in things when they were all libertarians at first. Then they got co-opted by the proto-Trumpists and were only angry at the world.

          Uh, no. Since the Tea Party members happily and immediately jumped on the big -deficits Trump train. Even in 2008 and 2010, their "platform" was incoherent. "Tea Party Patriots" -and I lived surrounded by them -was/is a synonym for "hate a black guy being president. " full stop.
