But the scary thing is the American Conservative site is trying to steal some issues that we democrats should own hands down (in particular I mean the issues of globalization effect on working families and caution on military interventionism). Read the Buchanan article and be afraid that right wing populism like his and Trump's will convince working people that they are their defenders. That's the issue I hope gets addressed.

but a certain guy with tall hair happened to buy it out 2014...

Triangulation, in the Bill Clinton political sense, is what I think the right wing is up to. Cherry picking a few progressive issues to make the rest of their right wing agenda seem more palatable to some voters.

Neither is raw capitalism, but that's another story.

Pat Buchanan is a Nazi.

All of the eleven " free" trade agreements on which Congress has voted since 2001 enjoyed the near-unanimous support of House Republicans, who backed ratification more than 91 percent of the time.

Also, they bailed out Obama in passing fast track against Democratic resistance.

Everybody in Washington love them some Corporate "free" trade agreements.

And if Hillary will complete the TPP, why isn't she campaigning on that issue?

Still it would be interesting to see what differences there are for TPP from when she was advocating for it vs now though.

benefit American workers, just American corporations.

If that is 'economic nationalism' it is a perverted definition of the term and not one that FDR would have agreed with. You could more easily describe FDR as an 'economic nationalist' in the sense that he acted in the interests of American workers with a host of liberal economic policies while expanding trade by lowering tariffs and eventually going with a multi-country trade organization.

I think calling right wing isolationism "economic nationalism" is giving conservatives way too much credit and damning FDR with faint praise. "Economic nationalism" is not walls and higher tariffs to isolate us from the rest of the world, but intelligent liberal policies (although they will not fit on a baseball cap) designed to raise living standards for American workers.

As much as monied interests would like to conflate economic progressivism with "racist whites," they are not the same. But they are two responses working and middle class people have to their growing awareness they are disempowered and exploited. Conservatives respond to any crisis by looking for a cultural outgroup to blame. Liberal progressives keep their eyes on the money and the power, which is where the real problems lie.

But ideas like a fair minimum wage, debt protection, less interventionist warfare, and universal healthcare and education are gaining ground across the board. What no one is buying anymore is that the wealthy and their corporations know what's best for everyone.

It's going to be a mess, but the pendulum is already swinging.

People everywhere are tired of the status quo governing elites.

Doesn't have to be from your perspective, but in a holistic sense. Same issue, two different sides. Would you vote against your own interests, in the big picture, just so that Buchanan would be wrong?

I think I would have to take serious pause, and reevaluate the validity of my assumptions.
