I wouldn't use the term populists for the Sander's faction. I would call them leftists, and the SJWs progressives because SJW is perjorative.
Populists historically were socially conservative but economically liberal. Recall their firebrand candidate in 1896 was William Jennings Bryan, of Scopes monkey trial fame.
OK, perhaps the Sanders wing is actually leftist, though the term 'populist' seems to lack a left-right bias. I'm sticking with the SJW label though. This is a faction nearly guaranteed to rain on the entire parade. A bit of perjorative name calling may be in order. There's nothing more likely to raise hackles everywhere that the cries of whiny absolutists.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
