Identifying true problems in a country but ending with an anti-system solution is populism: "Don't vote for a president, this is useless, they are all the same

Identifying true problems in a country but ending with an anti-system solution is populism: "Don't vote for a president, this is useless, they are all the same and complete garbage, the system is not designed for a competent person to be elected".
Populism isn't only talking to simple minded people, it's taking the language of your audience and offering simple minded solutions that seem to make sense.
That's how you get on the path of deep-state or QAnon conspiracies or countries with cults of personality veering on authoritarianism (Russia, Turkey, USA...).
