To win working-class voters β and possibly todayβs election β Democrats need to attack economic elites. But the Kamala Harris campaign hasnβt consistently offered an anti-elite counter to Donald Trumpβs right-wing populism.

There is that, but there is also the fact that the Democratic party and especially affiliated media has been systematically moving to the right and suppressing the left as much as they can. The Dems being hamstrung is most likely a feature, not a bug.
And even if it isnβt, does it matter? They courted the Cheney people, and had one of their greatest losses against a guy with the IQ of a toaster. Itβs not like they have anything to lose by giving progressives a chance at this point.
