@jasonintrator @DavidOttlinger @TheAtlantic @CasMudde You began with the claim that the word populism should not be used, full stop, and that those who use it are engaged in trickery. Now you are cherry picking individual instances when you think “populism” is inapt as if that somehow bolsters your initial claims. It does not. — PolitiTweet.org

@jasonintrator @TheAtlantic Yes, let’s. My claims are that many people use “populist” without engaging in trickery and that it is coherent to talk about right populism and left populism without implying that they are morally equivalent — PolitiTweet.org
