i think this is also post-Segregationist arc Wallace too. the reformed populist and the visionary technocrat is a great combo in most circumstances

idk how much clinton is a "reformed populist" but man there's some fun to be had with this concept where massachusetts spits out a LDH/tsongas ticket for governor in 1974 or something

oh also claude kirk/mary singleton was real close to this in florida in 1978 but idk if singleton was a technocrat
 
i found out about chief keef doing NFTs and chris dorner being a hillary clinton/julian castro supporter within a span of 5 minutes

I became Bernie’s driver and constant companion, his “guy Friday,” and he got 14 percent of the vote in a three-way race against a liberal Democrat incumbent and a moderate Republican. So, in the traditional metric of “did you win,” [his gubernatorial campaign] did not go well. But he had a strong base of support in the working-class parts of Burlington, where he was still mayor at the time. But he also did disproportionately well in the northern parts of Vermont, the more rural parts of Vermont. Bernie was incredibly popular with French Canadian folks living in northern Vermont.

I remember distinctly being at a place with Bernie called Saint Anne’s Shrine, which is a religious shrine in the islands between New York and Vermont. We went to the cafeteria at Saint Anne’s Shrine, and it was an old-style cafeteria, with metal rails where you run your tray down and shelves of food, the Jell-Os with the whipped cream on it, the cellophane on top. It was everything you’d think of in an old-style cafeteria. It was staffed by a lovely group of French Canadian grandmothers, much like my own. When we were in there, Bernie Sanders was not hugely known, but they were literally, and I mean literally, crawling through the food to get to shake hands with Bernie Sanders. It really was a powerful demonstration of the way he could connect with ethnic communities that have faced oppression and economic disadvantage.
