Sounds like democracy

Explain to me how “democracy” of your vision would be different

Totally different things.

One is leader-centric, the other is voter-centric. Populism requires a Demagogue.

"Tax the Rich"

Are posts getting deleted for mentioning a nation that starts with an I?

Yeah if you're going to hold campaign promises against presidents, governors, etc, every single one in history is a "populist"


“Populism” is a propaganda word that managerial state progressives invented to weaken their opposition. It means literally nothing as a separation from broader democracy

This is horse shite!

With the crimes that were committed & Ghislaine in the slammer, BUT NOBODY ELSE YET, very disappointed with this!

If they don’t start making major arrests, it’s gonna tarnish my support of Trump, and I am as MAGA as they come, but crimes of this nature, WGAF about National Security!

If you don’t bring down the house for this Pedo Ring, I consider you an accomplice over time.

More of the same BS

I think you're the slow one. The people voting under the system of democracy are voting for..........a person (in this context).

Its a system of govt. Go look it up so you can stop arguing.

Populism falls under the umbrella as do most other ideologies. But they are not the same thing.

Populism is a leader centric election strategy.

Didn’t you hear? The executive office of the president voted into office by the people in a national vote was not always in the constitution, right wing extremist judges must have reinterpreted the constitution in the last century

Every single election strategy is leader centric. Except for when the Dems shoe-horned Harris in.

Because it’s not just “wealth clients”… it’s obviously politicians, judges and more on both sides of the aisle and enough of them chaos would ensue. Internationally big players in the world of politics. This brings on more problems. Who replaces them? What’s the relationship with us? Remember the US has supported terrible people because they did what we wanted.

Old news. This interview is a week old and was already talked about ad nauseum here last week. Of course, they aren’t going to release anything that jeopardizes victims, national security, or grand jury proceedings. The question will be if those are legitimate redactions or redactions just done to hide the actions of powerful people.

Then the United States was founded on populism and it was written into the constitution, and thus would have been “the problem” for nearly 250 years
