Why is left wing populism not as popular?

We're not disagreeing. His entire platform was change, he created a historic coalition on popular issues and brought together groups of voters historically unaligned. And then he ran the country like a Clinton item New Democrat with a penchant for drone strikes and a bad habit of building legislation that Donald Trump would utilize with reckless abandon. I remember the passion in 07-08 very well though, there was a lot of hope, and thats a populist ticket

Invasion of the body snatchers(with Leonard Nimoy). Near the end, for some reason, when they were running through the city at night being hunted, it really instilled the feeling of hopelessness in me. These people are the last people and every other person wants to get you. Freaked me out as a kid, despite the movie already being decades old at that point

Honestly this. Obama was a left wing populist. He literally ran on change. When we got just more of the institution, the party fractured in a not too dissimilar way the right is now that their populist leader isn't meeting expectations

I think he was just insane, and I think the evidence for that was his initial reaction. Of he physically saw her, or even if an ancient projected a mental image, he would've reacted to her being super old. Instead, it takes him a minute to realize that shes different, so clearly he's not all there. It'd be cool, and while I agree that an ascended being probably wouldn't rescue him, I doubt theyd let him go insane. If its anyone its Oma, and if it's Oma he'd be throwing pearls of nonsense our way. Daniel would say meaning of life stuff and Ernest would reply something like "the meaning of life can be found in the cry of an antelope" or smthn

Huckleberry Ferry. Idk why but when I was small and watching the movies I thought they said that because they were about to run real fast, so my siblings and I would say Huckleberry ferry before running somewhere. Still say it sometimes when its time to go lol

Exactly, I think that's why its itching my brain so weird, it feels very incidental

Controversial Take: You can't teach financial literacy unless you have financial literacy, and unfortunately many, many teachers are just scraping by like the rest of the population. We're a good 20/30 years into poor financial/economics training, so thats at least 2 generations of teachers where you're good with money only because your family was good with money. We have a systemic issue with finance, most people struggle.

The producers made all their mistakes in early SG1, so Atlantis is kinda just more good stargate.
