Former Vice President Kamala Harris is once again pitching grand ideas that sound more like a college freshman’s late night chat session than a serious political strategy.

In remarks Wednesday night, Harris encouraged the Democratic Party to hold what she called a “no bad idea brainstorm” to rebuild its blueprint for the future after its string of losses.

Harris, who has made a habit of serving up vague political slogans, said the party should open up its brainstorming session to any and all ideas.

“This is a moment where there are no bad ideas, a ‘no bad idea brainstorm’ is what I’d like to call it,” she told an audience, according to Fox News.

She added that such a session would let Democrats “talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the Electoral College.”

That line alone likely raised eyebrows across the country, since Democrats have long blamed the Electoral College for their inability to win some national contests.

Harris did not stop there. She floated the idea of Supreme Court “reform,” which in Democrat-speak generally means packing the bench with extra justices who toe the party line.

“Let’s talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court,” she told the audience with her trademark cheerful vagueness.

And for good measure, she threw in the old progressive wish list items of granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington D.C.

“These are the things I think that we’ve got to do,” she said, as if it were that simple to rewrite the Constitution or the balance of power in Congress.

WATCH:

The comments come as Harris continues to maneuver in the shadows of the 2024 loss to Donald Trump.

Though she has not officially announced a 2028 run for the presidency, her remarks make it clear she is trying to reclaim a place in the national spotlight.

The speech sounded less like party brainstorming and more like a soft launch for another campaign that nobody seems to be clamoring for.

Harris’s suggestions highlight a growing pattern in the Democratic Party to rewrite fundamental American institutions when they cannot win within the current rules.

Abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and adding new states have been the pet projects of a left that does not want to adjust its policies to appeal to middle America.

Instead, the goal is to change the system until it guarantees Democrat victories.

Critics quickly pointed out that Harris’s proposal is not much of a brainstorm at all, since it only expands on the same old radical talking points.

The “no bad idea” framework appears to conveniently open the door to every fringe concept the far left has ever conjured.

With that sort of invitation, one could imagine calls for rewriting the Bill of Rights or nationalizing industries being tossed into the mix as “good ideas.”

The irony is thick.

The party that calls itself the defender of democracy wants to eliminate the very mechanisms that prevent mob rule and protect states’ rights.

The Electoral College, which balances influence between large and small states, has been a cornerstone of American governance from the founding.

Yet Harris and her allies see it as an inconvenience to be scrapped.

Her soft-peddled call for “reform” of the Supreme Court also mirrors frustration among Democrats at recent rulings that defended constitutional principles.

Harris’s suggestion of adding justices would essentially neuter judicial independence and politicize the Court beyond recognition.

Meanwhile, the notion of granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. is not about fairness or representation, but about stacking the Senate with permanent Democrat seats.

Any voter can see that plainly.

Harris’s attempt to frame her pitch as a big-tent gathering of ideas shows just how desperate her party has become after repeatedly losing touch with the American voter.

The supposed “no bad idea” mentality only benefits those who believe that every radical fix is justified if it stops their political opponents.

Across the conservative sphere, reactions ranged from disbelief to amusement.

Commentators noted that Harris’s grand vision sounds less like a policy session and more like a party pep talk disguised as strategy.

Several joked that, given her track record, maybe there truly is “no bad idea” left that she has not already tried.

If this is the Democrats’ big new playbook for 2028, it suggests an internal crisis much deeper than most imagined.

There appears to be no soul searching about why ordinary Americans rejected their agenda in 2024, only brainstorming sessions on how to rig the system in their favor.

For Republicans, Harris’s words serve as another reminder of what is at stake.

The fight is not simply over elections but over the rules that keep those elections free, fair, and constitutional.

And if Harris’s version of a “brainstorm” ever turns into policy, America could quickly find itself facing a constitutional storm of its own.
