“In the coming US presidential election, the key battleground lies with the working and middle classes. The professional elites and the dependent poor are all but guaranteed to back Kamala Harris and her sidekick, Tim Walz, while rural voters are certain to jump on the ever wilder Trump train. In this awful contest, the decisive key lies with the populist masses, particularly in the swing states, suburbs and among minorities. This notably includes Latinos and even African Americans, especially young males. Yet despite repeated assertions of their concern for the hoi polloi, neither party, nor any of the candidates, offers anything like a truly populist programme.” (09/22/24)
