Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    It’s not unusual. The joke is the political spectrum is a circle. You go far enough to the left - you meet the far right.

    In the end both Bernie and Trump are populists (in both senses: offering solutions that people want and proposing simplified solutions that are unrealistic)

    During Covid in Germany the anti vaccine protest coalition was made up of fascists and hippies.

      Please educate me. What populist opinion does Bernie hold that is unrealistic? Is it Single Payer? Is it taxing oligarchs? Is it not being corrupt?

      Most of his platform would be center-left or even just centrist in Scandinavia.
