The Importance of Being a Populist in the world as it is

A democracy cannot effectively exist without a middle Class. Yes. You can have fake democracies like Iran and others or you can have dictatorships like North Korea or you can have totalitarian one party states like China but you cannot have an effective democracy without a strong and well educated middle class. A strong and well educated and empowered middle class only happens when there are enough populists of every party, who champion the rights of all the people in that country whether they be poor or rich or middle class. In the United States we have the Democrats that champion the rights of the middle class and the poor primarily. Then we have the Republicans that champion only the rights of the richest in our country. But without populists in both parties who champion everyone's rights rich, poor AND middle class we lose our democracy because if all classes aren't represented properly democracy for all intents and purposes ceases to exist no matter what country it is in even if that country is the   United States.
