    Not so sure about that, I knew who Cortez was years before I recognized Harris and I’m not in either of their districts.

      But you are commenting on Lemmy, which i’d argue makes you atypical and your media/news consumption probably looks very different to that of the average American.

        Technically I’m on Mbin, but I get your point.

        That said, I was hearing her name in broadcast and print news reports way before Harris and I visit a wide variety of websites.

      that’s not because of pr or an ad campaign, that’s because she says important things when nobody else will, and because the gop has had a massive hate/racist fit about her for years…
