"Everyone should be able to make their voice heard in truly democratic processes." - good populism

"We should form an angry mob and go burn the houses of [minority group]." - bad populism

"To hell with the doctors, this old folk remedy totally cures [communicable disease]." - also bad populism

Populism is always going to be a force in politics imo, trying to stop it just leads to more bad populism than good populism
