What would a populist left presidential candidate actually look like?

  • Primary message is focused on class-based solidarity and systemic economic reform (instead of identity-based politics).
  • Policies that are beneficial to all working and middle class people, regardless of where they live, their race, gender, or identity.
  • Widespread economic solutions like free tuition, universal healthcare, and a living wage accessible to everyone regardless of identity.
  • Focus on policies that actually reduce inequality like wealth taxes and labor reforms (instead of focusing on gender pay gaps and racial disparities in wealth).
  • A platform whose message is based on themes like fairness, hard work, collective prosperity for all people in simple, relatable language. No academic/activist jargon.
