This is what fundamentalist religious fanatics must do . . . pay constant homage to their deity, who in this case is political correctness. A religion possessed of many altars and a god demanding many, many sacrifices. One must keep the narrative alive, feed it non-stop or it dies.

“Our United States of America is not about us versus them. It’s about we the people!” Harris said. “And in this moment, we must all speak truth about what’s happening. Seek truth, speak truth, and fight for the truth. So let’s speak some truth. Shall we?” Her remarks were less truth-speaking than a predictable grab bag of center-left policies she would champion as president: Medicare for All, universal pre-K, election security, immigration reform, a middle-class tax cut, ending mass incarceration, fighting racism and sexism. The crowd was into it. The press praised it. There was a long way to go, but it felt like a good start. After all, could Joe Biden pull a crowd this big? But Harris left out something vital, a missing ingredient that would come to define her candidacy and the sputtering campaigns of too many Democrats running for president: a message.

Harris failed to do any of these things. Much like her slogan—“For the People!”—Harris came off as standing for everything and hence nothing. Her shifting positions on Medicare for All, abolishing private insurance, federally mandated busing, and elements of the Green New Deal reinforced the percolating idea that she was too calculating and too political—like Clinton before her—with no principled core beyond winning the next election. Her ideological squishiness offended Sanders ideologues, who roasted her for changing positions on a Sanders-crafted Medicare for All bill that she rushed to endorse in 2017. Her stumbles gave comfort to Warren supporters, who smartly understood that Harris and Warren voters are actually pretty similar: college-educated women who like the idea of a woman running for president. Harris staffers and surrogates, preoccupied with the permanent soul suck of Twitter and elite opinion, spent time complaining about sexism and publicly fighting with reporters, blaming the media for “erasing” Harris even after she had tumbled to low single digits on her own merits. Warren’s campaign never engages in those fights: Its candidate has a message that prevents them from getting sucked into internet quicksand and squabbles over left-wing purity tests. On many days it felt like Harris’s first and only audience was the political press and self-appointed Twitter pundits, not voters. Few people would say the same about Biden, Sanders, Warren, or Buttigieg, who are squarely focused on Iowa along with their own media strategies. Their poll numbers reflect it."

"For the People" , huh?
