And as Iâve found, all good liberals, Democrats, radicals, and political scientists steer clear of populism. The received definition (or non-definition) of Populism does not square with what I know about the American Populists, American Populist-like movements and political leaders since that time, or American political history in general, and in my opinion it has had a severely negative effect on American politics and on the Democratic Party since 1948 or so.
