Fruitless pursuit of mythical moderate

*[Harris's] Fruitless Pursuit of the Mythical Moderate.* The article attributes her defeat to her failure to take an overall political position that would help struggling majority of Americans.

I emended the article title because it would be presumptuous to refer to a person I don't know by per first name.

Rep. Jayapal: *We've got to pick some big fights where people can't be in denial or question whether or not we are standing up for them or whether we're standing up to the big corporate interests," the Washington congresswoman said, adding: "It's a difficult message to send when you're trying to court money from that community."

In other words, Democrats need to become what they once were: sincere populists, defending the vital interests of the poor majority of the US, to overcome the Republican phony populists who pretend to stand for that majority by scapegoating smaller and poorer groups.
