And who elected Caitlyn Johnstone the arbiter of who is allowed to fly the flag of "populism"?

She didn't, she (quite justifiably) accused both parties of practicing faux-populism

Caitlyn Johnstone looks like a faux-populist to me. How can she prove that she's a genuine populist? How can she prove that her vision of populism is the right one? What makes her more trustworthy than any other aspiring demagogue?

Ok, well I'll make sure nobody ever criticizes anyone else ever again, because we can't ever be certain they really hold the high ground
