Kamala Harris’ Dangerous Brainstorm
If it weren’t for bad ideas our former Vice President wouldn’t have any ideas at all.

For a sense of how bereft the Democrats are of credible leaders and sensible policy ideas all one has to do is listen to the remarks of former Vice President Kamala Harris on the Win with Black Women podcast. She proposed a “no bad ideas brainstorm” in which Democrats would discuss “What we need to do, and think about doing, around the Electoral College … expanding the Supreme Court … statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.” Harris, whom most polls of Democrat voters show as the front-runner for their party’s 2028 presidential nomination, said this as if she were offering fresh ideas. They are, in reality, shopworn tropes that can be heard every time a far left Democrat gets in front of a microphone.
The obvious reason she and other lefties sing this tired tune is the promise of four new Senate seats, all of which would presumably be filled by Democrats.
They are not merely bad ideas, they constitute a clear and present danger to the republic. Indeed, they suggest that the Democratic Party can’t be trusted with real power until it is divested of the radical leftists who now control its agenda. All of the braying about “our democracy” notwithstanding, it could hardly be more obvious that the Democrats want to eliminate the constitutional foundations of the Republic so they can establish one-party rule. This is why Harris speculates about what we “need to do” about the Electoral College. She and her fellow travelers believe that it impedes genuine democracy, but obviously don’t grasp the consequences of dumping it. As historian Allen C. Guelzo writes at National Affairs:
Abolishing the Electoral College now might satisfy an irritated yearning for direct democracy, but it would also mean dismantling federalism. After that, there would be no sense in having a Senate (which, after all, represents the interests of the states), and eventually, no sense in even having states, except as administrative departments of the central government. We structure everything in our political system around a federation that divides power between states and the federal government … abolishing the Electoral College would point toward doing away with the entire federal system.more
