but quite frankly, I've given up on the system EVER representing real workers. On anything.

I do like how this article brings out these left populist ideas and makes a point of them being POPULAR ideas. That's the definition of populism of course, but the ideas that the article makes a point of are ideas that are derided as "fringe" by the "serious ones" even here on DU. Those "serious ones" might be serious, but they're apparently not very democratic.
