Did you mean "populism" or is this a distinct term with a different definition?
Actual leftist here, our ideology is that there should be no "trump"s. You seem to be talking about right-wing liberals like the Democrats, who explicitly reject populism in favor of legalism and bipartisanship.
Again, if we got our way then no one person would be able to "trash institutions". Please stop projecting, we know that every right-wing accusation is a confession.
This reads like an admission that the USA is not a representative democracy, as has been well established academically: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746
Please, do expand upon this acknowledgement that we shouldn't bother with "norms" when they are being so flagrantly ignored.
For the third time, please stop accusing "the left" of sharing "the right"'s ideology re: authoritarian leadership. It's extremely transparent.
America has never had democratic elections. Our electoral system is designed so that "the people" don't have any agency to resist the dominance of capital.
Is this an admission that the norms and traditions are bad, or an admission that the Democrats care more about bipartisanship than the threat that Trump's administration poses?
Your entire tone indicates you're more interested in "blasting" my response than reading it. Have a nice day.
If you're unwilling to engage in political discourse because the tone is insufficiently defferential, then you're letting the sensitivity of your ego override your commitment to your ideals.
I think your issue is less about my tone than the fact that you have no response to justify why you think political norms should be prioritized over the lives and livelihoods that are threatened by politics.
