pandering

(verb)

The act of expressing one's views in accordance with the likes of a group to which one is attempting to appeal. The term is most notably associated with politics. In pandering, the views one is verbally expressing are merely for the purpose of drawing support and votes and do not necessarily reflect one's personal values.

Examples of pandering in the following topics:

  • Matching Personal Style

    • However, don't fall victim to pandering where you merely say things that reflect the overall needs and expectations of your audience without actually believing in them.
