how do you make a name for yourself as the "plans person"? Like, there is no specific plan she's publicly associated with, just "plans" in general.

It's just a bourgeois feminist trap. The idea is that she's a smart qualified technocrat. Don't you dare criticize her.

I'm pretty sure it was a tactic in response to rhetoric from the Clinton campaign in 2016. The whole "Bernie says everyone gets a pony" thing, where Clinton positioned progressive policies as unrealistic and without plans.

Warren's PR team was very weird

Frankly who even is this aimed at, I highly doubt kids are going to read this and honestly I feel like Big Booba and Persist might actually sell better.
