5) Did not say things like “I alone can fix it.” On the contrary, portrayed himself as part of an unstoppable movement, something you might want to believe if you almost got killed; 6) So it went a little long! Past bedtimes and deadlines. Suck it up, East Coasters. 4/4

What’s the difference between Vance’s populism, derided by so many, and Gore’s 2000 populism, about how “powerful forces… stand in your way”? I was trying to come up with the answer when I discovered I’d already written it–Vance makes a bit more sense. https://t.co/3kg9gBkVTU
