And again, this resonates with what Team Fight is demanding Dems do about Trump once they take power back—this is the equivalent of a Day One executive order from the next president repealing all of Trump's executive orders and announcing that his ballroom will be razed.

Just flat-out declaring that everything Adams did as mayor after the indictment—in the final fifteen months and five days of his term of office—was presumptively corrupt, and undoing everything that's in his immediate power to undo with a single stroke of the pen.

This is the way.

meanwhile the critique of popularism is "your own base will hate you for betraying them, people who really believe in this stuff will go full fash rather than support your half measures, and the waverers will take your capitulation as proof the fash are right"

bearing out pretty well so far
