In a striking display of cognitive dissonance, the current leader of the Democratic Party and presumptive frontrunner for its 2028 presidential nomination—Kamala Harris—has championed a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” session that openly floats abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. These proposals, framed as necessary tools to “neutralize these red states from cheating,” come from a politician who has repeatedly positioned herself as the steadfast guardian of democratic institutions and the rule of law. Yet rather than defending the constitutional framework that has governed American elections for more than two centuries, Harris is now advocating structural changes that would fundamentally rewrite the balance of power between states, branches of government, and the electorate itself—moves long derided by critics as raw power grabs designed to entrench one party’s dominance rather than preserve fair competition.
The irony deepens when one recalls Harris’s own path to the 2024 nomination. Unable to secure a single delegate in her 2020 primary bid, she was installed as the Democratic standard-bearer only after Joe Biden abruptly withdrew, citing age and health concerns despite his campaign’s insistence that he had won a record 81 million votes in 2020—the most of any presidential candidate in U.S. history. Once at the top of the ticket, however, Harris proved incapable of approaching anything close to that total, ultimately receiving roughly 75 million popular votes in a loss to Donald Trump. The glaring disparity between Biden’s vaunted 81 million and Harris’s markedly lower haul has fueled widespread skepticism, exposing the fragility of the narrative that Democrats had assembled an unbeatable coalition in 2020. Instead of addressing voter turnout or policy failures head-on, Harris’s latest brainstorm appears to double down on altering the rules of the game rather than winning under the existing ones.
This vote-count gap has since become the stuff of raucous, stadium-filling chants—“Where are the 81 million votes?”—echoing from beer halls to packed sports arenas across the heartland. What began as quiet grumbling among skeptics has grown into a loud, sustained cultural refrain, underscoring public frustration with a party leadership that lectures endlessly about threats to democracy while simultaneously plotting to eliminate the Electoral College’s state-level protections, expand the Supreme Court to neutralize its current composition, and dilute the Senate’s federal character through new state admissions. Far from safeguarding institutions, Harris’s counter-intuitive strategy risks confirming for millions of Americans that the real threat lies not in red-state “cheating,” but in a willingness to bend, break, or rewrite the rules whenever electoral outcomes prove inconvenient.
