Kamala Harris is once again singing from the progressive hymnbook, this time calling for a “discussion” about eliminating the Electoral College.
Her comments came only weeks after her decisive loss to President Donald Trump, a defeat that saw him capture a commanding 312 electoral votes to her 226.
It appears that when Democrats cannot win by the rules, their solution is to try to rewrite them.
During a podcast appearance with Don Lemon, Harris echoed [1] sentiments from far-left voices who want to fundamentally transform American institutions.
Lemon had referenced a conversation with Representative Ro Khanna, who called for expanding the Supreme Court to thirteen justices should Democrats regain power.
Harris enthusiastically agreed, claiming the current Court has “destroyed” constitutional principles.
That kind of talk makes it clear that Democrats see the Constitution as something to be bent whenever it gets in their way.
When the topic turned to the Electoral College, Harris did not skip a beat.
“I think we need to look at that, too. Yes. Yes, I do,” she told Lemon.
That phrase, “look at that,” is Washington speak for letting radical activists take the wheel.
Lemon jumped in with the typical left-wing talking points, claiming America is governed by a “minority” and that “most people aren’t as extreme as those who are MAGA.”
He also warned that the nation is sliding toward “Christian nationalism,” a term now used to smear conservatives who dare to hold traditional values.
Instead of disputing Lemon’s caricature of half the nation, Harris nodded along.
“There is some real shaking up that we have to do of the rules and the structure,” Harris agreed.
When Lemon pressed further, asking if that included getting rid of the Electoral College, she said, “I think that should be a discussion that we should have.”
WATCH:
It was one of those moments where a politician’s words confirm exactly what critics have warned about for years.
The timing could not be more telling. Fresh off a stinging loss, Harris appears eager to undermine the very system that handed her defeat.
The Electoral College was designed by the Founders to protect smaller states from being steamrolled by massive population centers.
It ensures that all Americans, not just people living in coastal cities, have a voice in choosing the president.
Democrats, however, have grown increasingly hostile to the system as their dominance in big blue hubs fails to translate into national victories.
In fact, Harris has less ground to complain than Hillary Clinton did in 2016.
Not only did she lose the Electoral College, she also lost the nationwide popular vote by more than two million votes, trailing Trump by roughly one and a half percentage points.
There is no statistical quirk to blame here, only the political reality that Trump’s message resonated more broadly with working and middle-class voters across the country.
For decades, Democrats benefited handsomely from the same system they now deride.
Yet as their coalition becomes concentrated among wealthy metropolitan elites and activist-driven blocs, they have grown bitter about the fact that votes in Wyoming, Ohio, or Iowa carry weight equal to those in California or New York.
Their cries for “fairness” sound less like concern for democracy and more like frustration that they can no longer steamroll the rest of America.
The push to eliminate the Electoral College also reveals a deeper discomfort with federalism itself.
The left wants centralized power in Washington, where unelected bureaucracies and activist judges can impose their will on every corner of the country.
Abolishing the Electoral College would take another sledgehammer to the balance between the states and the people that the Constitution so carefully crafted.
There is also a clear pattern in Harris’s remarks.
Whether it is packing the Supreme Court, eliminating the filibuster, or scrapping the Electoral College, the Democratic instinct is to change the rules so they never lose again.
This mindset treats the Constitution not as a guiding document, but as an obstacle to permanent political control. It is no wonder so many Americans increasingly view the left as hostile to the republic’s founding values.
Harris’s comments drew swift criticism from conservatives who view her statements as proof that Democrats will not stop until they have dismantled every guardrail of the republic.
The Electoral College has survived civil war, world wars, and decades of political upheaval.
It continues to serve its purpose by ensuring that the voices of small towns matter as much as those of major cities.
The American people still seem to understand that.
Polls consistently show the public divided on the issue, but among conservatives and independents, there is strong support for keeping the current system intact.
The Founders knew exactly what they were doing when they built checks and balances into the framework of choosing a president.
If Harris and her allies get their way, future elections would be fought in the same handful of dense urban centers, and rural America would become invisible.
The entire balance upon which this country was built would vanish.
When Democrats cry “democracy,” what they really want is dominance.
Their latest campaign to “discuss” the Electoral College is not about fairness. It is about power, plain and simple.
