What Went Down On The Final Night Of The DNC

Now we hear from The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks).

There was so much going on during the early nomination contest that I missed this comparison between Andrew Yang and tech industry populist H. Ross Perot, who ran for president in 1992 and 1996. Both challenged party politics with a kind of centrist sensibility, mixing and matching different policy positions. Populist anti-party rhetoric has been associated more recently with the ideological extremes of both parties, but Yang is an interesting reminder than this combination isn’t inevitable. And, in this regard, another throwback to the politics of twenty years ago.

It totally worked on me, Lee. I could see it being polarizing, though.
