I don't disagree, but she's the VP and she seems to believe in the stuff. She should at the very least be able to get sympathetic reporters to write glowing profiles in the NYT, and not have her aids tell the press she won't return Elizabeth Warren's phone calls. People *loved* Stacey Abrams long after Abrams had become a political liability to Georgia Democrats.
Harris seems to think that Warren and Pelosi and well-respected Black reporters dismiss her because they are racist and/or sexist, and that it is a good political strategy to call these people out. But call them out to whom? Warren, Pelosi and Black NYT reporters represent the 20% of the country that should be over the moon about Harris.
The problem with doubling down on upper class identity politics is that it's a crowded field and the supply greatly outpaces the demand for it.
