Opinion: Harris is trying to run a no-substance campaign. Does she believe in anything?
 
What does Vice President Kamala Harris believe in? That shouldn’t be tough to answer, but it has stumped more people than the toughest Final Jeopardy questions.

Sooner or later, I have to assume she will articulate some kind of vision or original thought on policy. She will presumably propose something of substance, solutions to the issues facing the country. One cannot campaign on “vibes” alone…or can one?
 
I know it’s the buzzword of the Democrats this year about Republicans, but it is really “weird” to have run for and been elected to the Senate, to have run for president and run for and been elected to the vice presidency and not have any idea what you believe in.

Of course, Kamala Harris does believe in things — all the things she campaigned on in 2020 for the presidency. She just doesn’t want you to be reminded of what those things are, and she certainly doesn’t want voters to associate her with them.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
It appears that she believes that hiding her radically totalitarian agenda significantly improves her chances of being elected, or at least getting into steal range.

If she makes no promises that can be pointed to later, she will be able to deflect accusations of lying.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
