Lots of Dems want to find their version of early 90s Paul Keating, who did all these things perfectly, and won the longest of long shot elections.
Then they have to hope their candidate doesn’t turn into mid 90s Paul Keating who stepped on every rake he could see.
Gallego’s whole thing of moderating on policy, radicalizing on tactics/partisanship, and attacking when events allow is pretty clearly trying to find a way through the “popularism/populism/future of Dems” stuff.
