It was a bit condescending, and honestly sounded like something Hillary Clinton would have said. I'm not saying most Americans agree with the protesters, but the ones that might have sympathy to their cause are ones she needs to turn out to vote.
Harris is ultimately not a strong candidate based on her history and what we've seen of her campaign abilities. Probably her best chance to win is to maintain the feel good/breath of fresh air sort of vibes she has going right now, and the kind of tenor she showed there goes against that. Biden's softer approach would be more effective than the Hillary Clinton-esque "vote for me or else" approach.
There are a enough people that dislike Trump, but that will still vote for him if they don't like the Democratic candidate. So maintaining the likability edge is important. I can't imagine many people who are still undecided at this point are giving a ton of thought to policy.
