I have heard people state that the 2016 election was about populism vs. the establishment - i.e. the Democrats lost by running an establishment candidate while the country was in a populist mood. This year, I have also heard people state that the Democrats need to embrace progressive populism instead of the corporatist establishment if they want to regain power in the next several years. To what extent are these claims accurate? Additionally, if the concept of populism vs. the establishment is a valid one, will there be another future era where the establishment is favored over populism?
