      "Even though I find it repugnant, Biden should execute mentally impaired prisoners" is, I think, the essence of a certain kind of establishment thinking (recently re-branded as popularism)

      This is not popularism, popularism is not “do anything popular no matter how bad it is”, it’s “emphasise the popular parts of your platform”. Extremely dishonest to suggest otherwise.

      This is an absolute straight up lie, you don’t have the slightest clue what you’re talking about.

      Popularists are pretty explicit about wanting a return to 1990s Democratic party. Stephens is more honest than them about what it would entail.

      Popularisers are far more explicit about it being about emphasising the popular parts of your platform and distancing yourselves from very unpopular policies, not adding bad things to your platform because they are popular.

      When people say Biden needs to do a "Sister Souljah moment" is that about about emphasizing popular part? And the original Sister Souljah moment came along with the Ricky Ray Rector moment.pic.twitter.com/bXNi1ufItR

          Is Shor or Yglesias actually saying ‘do a sister souljah moment”? Because people say that every year and yet those two haven’t from my recollection. Either way that’s the ‘distancing yourself from unpopular’ part.

          I don't know about them but anyone advocating popularism by reference to that time faces this problem. The good stuff was intrinsically tied to the bad stuff
