I'm quoting Ryan Lizza's tweet on the story, but first I'd like to counter that it's just Populism 101. Which means he's trying to do what Trump did that caused him to win, risking turning off upper middle class swings, going for those other swings. Of course, that also fits his principles.

Related pinned tweet from Lizza, quoting his own Jan. 10 Politico article: It’s Biden vs. Bernie as war bursts into presidential race The Democratic primary could come down to a simple question: Do voters want Biden’s promise of a steady hand, or Bernie’s revolutionary zeal?

Ryan's still tweeting away on this horse race topic, as he's just been out there on the hustings:

Just hit me reading this, Bernie's going after these kinda guys?
I think of the kinda guy who definitely leans Dem (precisely because GOP classically had many elites) but will dislike Liz for the same reasons they disliked Hillary but were okay with Bill.

Ok this appears to be a real offensive, it's not just campaign journalists creating hyperbole--I noticed only because it was retweeted by Maggie Haberman, who I recall did her early own career stint on campaign buses so her pointing it out has more credence for me:

But in most cases it's not true. If not an outright lie it's at least a gross distortion, exaggeration, or spin. Which in my mind is just another type of lie.

Here's some political peeps interestingly arguing that doing so reveals character, bad character:

OY. I just tuned in towards the end of debate, and heard Liz Warren to give bonafides about understanding flyover (everyone was sorta splaining how their appeal outside elite coastal types) talk about her two brothers in Oklahoma who are Republicans, how they get along fine and even agree on some things!. And how she was born and raised there. And then she asked for Republican and Independent votes! So no more pretending about being a progressive! Bernie bros vs. Liz for sure from now on.

This is an interesting body language clip of Liz and Bernie meeting each other on the stage before the debate:
I actually got intrigued by how relaxed and elegant Steyer looked here that I replayed it.Doesn't come across when he's talking at a podium. Look at how nicely he reacts with Mayor Pete before he got to Liz and Bernie. He's a uniter not a divider type and gives off empathy and confidence. I guess that's an easy skill to develop when you don't have to worry about paying the rent. Just makes me wonder why other CEO types like Bloomberg can be such uptight assholes personally.
Edit to add: I see some people posting this clip say it is from them leaving the stage at the end of the debate. I'm not sure which it is.
