Is it Sanders or Trump?

Both have similar campaigns in that they are aiming their message at the everyday man. Trump's message is to the working class that they have had their future stolen and he will restore it. Sanders is aimed at the Gen Y'ers and Millennials that it was their future that was stolen and he wants to give it back.

But which one is the actual populist?

any of various, often antiestablishment or anti-intellectual political movements or philosophies that offer unorthodox solutions or policies and appeal to the common person rather than according with traditional party or partisan ideologies.
This definition of populism basically describes the Trump campaign with complete accuracy.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Trump is the personification of populism.

At least Sanders actually has policies and plans for a potential presidency, however shitty they may be. Trump is just a walking, talking meme.

Signature goes here.
Trump, people on here just don't want to say it because it's not an insult.

How are you guys saying Trump is a populist?

Because he is. Or, at least his campaign is a populist campaign. Whether or not he personally is remains to be seen. Both he and Sanders technically are. Just different demographics. I guess Sanders should be classified as Neo-Populism since he fits the end result, but not the classical ideology.

Because he barely has any legitimate policies. The guy just regurgitates white working class rhetoric and throws in a couple of jokes and insults to amplify his popularity amongst a select demographic.
