The last populist TV personality worked out great, so why not?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

"Popular" would probably be more accurate.

Populist

populism as an ideology that presents "the people" as a morally good force and contrasts them against "the elite", who are portrayed as corrupt and self-serving ... Populists typically present "the elite" as comprising the political, economic, cultural, and media establishment, depicted as a homogeneous entity and accused of placing their own interests, and often the interests of other groups—such as large corporations, foreign countries, or immigrants—above the interests of "the people".

Is Jon Stewart considered a populist?

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I would consider him one, since he hasn't held public office before. But I'm not sure if there's a more strict definition.

The Democrats should be forced to nominate him, just to even things out.
