Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Obama has the self-awareness to know why, in this turbulent, cross-party populist moment, it won't help his or his party's brand; still, https://twitter.com/lpolgreen/status/856994629094449152 …

      He was never a populist and does not believe the party is well-served by catering to a caricature of populist interests.

      The globalist wings of every party (everywhere) have utterly failed to make a convincing case to ordinary people about the future.

      But populism feels like the more intuitive sell to people and it always will.

      No party or entity has explained the realities of the present and the exigencies of the future. Forget post-truth. We are post-narrative.

      Not sure I agree: But I do think globalization narrative is a failing ideology now, just like communism before it.

          So what is the post-globalization answer that isn't populism/ethno-nationalism. Exactly. There's the problem in a nutshell

          Marc is right: it needs to be a narrative. Might be about sustainability writ large, but that ideology doesn't start in US.

          Narratives only work when there is an Enemy to blame failures on. Gonna be hard to beat lizard-brain appeal of ethno-populism

          Not sure the enemy needs to be ethnic. Could be corporatist of a type.

          I agree, and think that really is the enemy of the masses right now. But the appeal of ethnic-based hatred is really hard to beat

          Sure, but that's changing generationally, at least here.

          But the other thing to remember is ideologies get built--they don't just happen. The other ones are very well funded.

          Well then it sure as hell better 1) start delivering on its promises better than it has 2) find a way to explain itself to non-wonks.
