Talarico Rejects Left-Right Politics, Calls Divide Vertical
Original: Talarico Rejects Left-Right Politics, Says It’s More Vertically Oriented

The comment is drawing attention as part of ongoing debate over how to describe class and economic tensions in American politics.
Why now: His reframing of political divisions has struck a chord amid ongoing debate over populism and class in the Democratic Party.
