My problem with the term "populist is that those who use it define as populist pele-mele practically everybody: Lula, Dilma and Bolsonaro; Bernie and Trump; Corbyn and Farage; AFD and Linke; Erdogan and Putin etc.

Exactly. “Not populist” suggests you’re part of the Serious Elite, which (depending where you stand) is either a point in your favour or a definite strike against.
