Because "the establishment" is such a squishy concept that everybody gets to define it any way they like. There are many different forms of power and many different people wielding it, all with different points of view. Characterizing some group of them as "the establishment", as if they were a monolith and the only center of power is lazy sophistry.

He IS the establishment - just packaged to make people like you think he's not so they can keep milking the system.

OBTW ... Harris currently has $1 Billion in her campaign fund with three weeks to go.
