Populism:

The political doctrine that supports the rights and powers of the common people in their struggle with the privileged elite.

 Populist Candidate Scorecard: Sanders Leads:

Sanders lead is built on his forceful commitment to major structural reforms – on breaking up the big banks, Medicare for All, enhancing Social Security benefits, taking on climate change, curbing big money in politics, cutting military spending and opposing costly interventions abroad.

Among Democrats, progressives are driving the debate. Every candidate knows they must inspire the activist base of the party – and the Obama coalition – not only to win the nomination but to be victorious in the general election. This is the time to keep the pressure on about what that will take. More and more Americans understand that the rules are rigged against them. Now it is time to demand that candidates champion the alternative.
