Lina Khan Is a Legit Superstar

Obama Warned Dems About This on His Way Out the Door
When Obama left office he warned fellow democrats against leaning too much into corporatism and being seen as ālatte sipping coastal elites.ā Two full terms have passed since then and this sentiment rings true more than ever. Economic populism is there for the taking.
From the article:
āIf Democrats hope to win back working-class voters in an environment of elite distrust, which they should, more of them will have to acknowledge and validate that distrust. This is a tall order, as there are major forces militating against them. Party messaging naturally caters to the base, so deploying anti-elite rhetoric has only become more difficult as Democrats have begun to transform into an upper-class party. Wealthy donors from elite and corporate backgrounds continue to fund Democratic campaigns.ā
