Well, first of all, it isn’t, but I’d say that the big problem I see with this statement is that it’s monumentally dismissive of the huge swathe of working Americans for whom the cost of health insurance is a significant burden. What, they’re “non-producers”? GTFO. Which is weird, because you’re otherwise into the whole populism thing.
People work their asses off within a system designed to devalue the cost of their labor. A program like M4A mitigates the excesses of the unquestioned success of this effort.

Medicare for all severely punishes me as someone who has put in significant hours to get to where I am when I started with almost nothing.
Now I get a tremendous tax increase with what will probably end up being worse healthcare.
How many people are there like me that get shafted?
The rich don't get screwed because they still have a tremendous amount of money.
My populism relates to what I feel preserves capitalization by eliminating monopolies. Further, I am protecting blue collar workers by not flooding the market with illegals who depress wages.
So the extent of my populism doesn't contradict my feelings on socialism and medicare for all. I am for enhancing capitalism and giving workers an opportunity to enjoy in the amazing benefit of capitalism. Socialism just wants to deincentivize hard work and screw the middle class.

Just for us old guys who might be confused on this matter what exactly does one produce when one is a "producer"? What all types of things are included in this good category and what doesn't count? What types of work can one do all one's adult life and still not get included in the "producers" guild, as it were?

There are certainly more valuable jobs
Or you know, context.
Ironically she talks about how her posts are still on facebook and twitter, but Facebook owns IG. WHich means something probably happened, maybe even in the comments. Maybe the comments were horrifically toxic.
This type of stuff is classic snowflakes, trying to stir up outrage with fake news. Odds are some moderator was queued up
