I should note that the article's basic thesis isn't that more progressive policies would have guaranteed better results, but that applying a simplistic narrative such as "progressive policies" cost the Democrats seats isn't really borne out by the data. |
Populism doesnt ever skew left, it always ends up with some right wing fascist ###### bag, when the population is angry and feels left behind they like to #### on those below them, preferably if they are a different colour, not try and help them.
