Populism is part of democracy and some people even like it. But riling up your voter base to be excited about one bombastic law without (1) considering second order effects or (2) talking about what might be more pressing but unpopular problems, is not something I (and, seemingly, OP) like. And this does not even go into the usual malicious uses of populism.
- dangwhy 4y ago> riling up your voter base But where did you get that this happened in italy . I didn't see that in the bbc article.
- actionfromafar 4y agoAre saying this is not supposed to rile up the user base, or not that the law is in Italy?
- ChrisRR 4y agoThe title?
- timeon 4y agoYou went from: > sorry but how is this different from just democracy to: > But where did you get that this happened Which seems like example of moving the goal-post.
- dangwhy 4y agohow is it moving goal posts. gp's response as i understood is that this has something to do with 'riling up' which makes it 'populism' ( vs democracy) . I am asking where they got there was any 'riling up' involved in this case. I guess i don't really understand 'riling up' means.
