He is deliberately playing up narratives themes rather than policies. This helps him attract attention. He will ride this wave as long as he can, then start rolling out detailed policies, to keep himself fresh.

Do it too soon, and you are a wonk like Warren, do it too late, and you are lightweight like Beto. I'm not saying these characterizations are fair, but that's how the media thinks.
