Depends on who actually gets elected. A centrist candidate like Buttigeg/Ossoff/Harris/Newsom would almost certainly lead to no prosecutions. Someone with actual convictions like AOC or Ro Khanna might.

I will laugh and then cry if the left puts up a candidate that is (again) alienating of the working class.

Enough of the voter base will cut the nose to spite the face

		Which candidate(s) would that be... and why?

Ossoff does not really seem like a centrist on this point. He's pretty vicious about the whole Trump criminal organization.

Fair. Although he seems to mostly target Trump, rather than the conditions that gave rise to Trumpism. Unless someone addresses that we’re stuck in a vicious cycle…

		He's even better than you thought, then. Here's a post from a week ago (and a common refrain in his writing and speaking): "I get why people voted for him. Because even before he came on the scene, American politics was coin-operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It’s been running on corporate money, secret money, billionaire money. Both sides. And when members of Congress aren’t fundraising from lobbyists and corporate PACs, they’re trying to dodge getting bombed by these super PACs. Spectacular wealth buys an ever greater share of power over our national affairs. And this corruption is why nothing works for ordinary people."
