This is one of the only fair descriptions of populism I've found on YouTube. Unfortunately many want to turn populism into a dirty word instead of considering the true subtlety and context of its meaning.

This is actually a great history of populism, from a populism scholar.

Basically, populism and pluralism are impossible to figure out because they constantly change.

Organizing vs mobs… rights to protest vs mob rule. These are very real needs of understanding. Dangerous populism versus/and/or unheard needs…

Pathways created within the context of splices of us… it’s something to keep in mind.

2020 let's have the debate we should have had all along. Bernie vs Trump. Both are disruptors, and will make for a much more interesting conversation than Hilary vs Trump 2016.

How could ONLY Getachew released those criminals caught red handed on Tigrayy genocide without the knowledge of DebreTsion and the other regional authorities specially those military No, there must be others too. If tigray itself released its killers, then who is going to asked about the genocide??

Thomas Frank's definition of populism: "multiracial coalition of working class people coming together for economic democracy". Recommend reading: "The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism"
