Then I think we can summarize your position as follows: Democracy is when you like policies, and populism is when you don't.

- whatnow37373 1y agoPopulism is on the rise in my country as well but that’s orthogonal to my evaluation of individual policies. I dislike little-d dictators proclaiming to serve the needs of The People because as an European I am intimately aware of what that engenders. I like serving a System not a Person. If a policy is enacted that I don’t like - which happens daily - then I shrug and reinvigorate my will to vote next time around. I don’t really see how your conclusion follows from anything I said.
