One less anti genocidal soft drink option in the UK.
Seriously though I do think it really demonstrates one of the biggest things you need to look for with a progressive politician isnt just claimed platform its credibility, there are a lot of frauds out there who will betray their pledges as soon as there in office and often actually purge genuine progressives.
I think the base appeal is potentially similar, the general anti establishment feeling against the way the economy and foreign policy is run, the difference is as you say MAGA basically shifts these sentiments into various kinds of bigotry and some highly questionable claims to make changes. I would say as well I suspect a lot of Trumps sucess with floating voters was probably as a simple "fuck you", basically picking the candidate the establishment they hate seemed to dislike more.
If they want this BS they can get it from Tulsi without the risk of stroke.
