re: #166 HappyWarrior

A lot of ways but I was thinking about how we love elite athletes but we hate the idea of an intellectual elite in politics. We want “the guy we can have the beer with” rather than the guy who has actually taken the time to study all the complex problems that we face as a people. There’s a lot about populism that really rubs me the wrong way. The whole “regular guy knows best” and “common sense” really bugs me because frankly as a regular guy, I don’t always know best and I don’t always have common sense.

Oh, okay. I get where you are coming from now. I thought you meant “we - on the left” and you mean “we - in general.” Makes sense now. Thanks for clarifying!
