I saw a town hall recently with a bunch of democrats giving speeches and they were all doing it too, making fun of people and trying for low effort zingers. It just didn’t really work, seemed forced. Like junior high kids trying to gain social capital by making fun of people. But in general it seems like the strategy is to try energize the Democrat base with populist tactics rather than taking the high road and hoping that regular Americans actually want something different.
