Republicans ran on a purely populist agenda, that resonated with many non voters. If Dems had an ounce of sense, instead of digging their heel on 'vote losing' points, they would have acknowledged the merit of those populist rhetoric to defang republicans.
Democrats ran on a "populist" agenda in the sense that their arguments were populist. They just didn't address the general population, but their rich friends and some upper Middle Class people that thought they are the part of the good guys, because they have some gay friends.
Yeah it's crazy to me how quickly they dropped price controls as a talking point as soon as the corporate media was against it. That could have easily been their populist position to counter Trump's claims that getting rid of illegal immigrants would drive prices down.
