Remember When Critprogs Said Populism Was Bad?

“Populism is understood as a thin-centered ideology that considers society to be ultimately separated into two homogeneous and antagonistic groups, ‘the pure people’ versus ‘the corrupt elite’, and which argues that politics should be an expression of the volonté générale (general will) of the People” (2007: 23).

populism is just a pandering to the masses.

Who did?

I was, and continue to be, amazed that the GOP has taken up the mantle of populism, lead by an ivy educated elite who ■■■■■ on a gold plated toilet and owns a jet liner. It’s remarkable.

The general theme of populism is good - public policy should a wide majority of the population. Where it gets unseemly is when it creates policies designed to punish the ‘elite’ or ‘wealthy’ or ‘the swamp’ or whatever group has become the punching bag for the movement.

So…is populism good or bad? Who do you think is a populist?

Seems like “pandering to the masses” would need a reliable mechanism. Something like this…

I thought about it.

Are you sure? What’s different?

Come on man!

This isn’t your thread. No D⁶.

Is Harris a populist or no?

He platform overlaps with populism. But it’s not as fervent and radical as what I think of as a populist movement.

Trump isn’t a populist either. He pretends to be, but he isn’t.

:rofl: She is blaming “stinky corpations” for every evil known to man.

Not “fervent or radical”? Seriously?
