Staff Reports
Kamala Harris has confidently claimed the title of the most principle-less candidate in the race for the presidency, a badge of honor that she seems to wear proudly. From the moment she was picked, without so much as a primary vote to her name, to stand in for the ever-confused Joe Biden, it became apparent that her political compass points anywhere but true north. Her positions shift not only from day to day but sometimes from minute to minute. This is not the behavior of a leader with solid principles; it’s the modus operandi of a purely opportunistic politician.
Recently, a report referred to Harris as employing a “no comment” strategy in her campaign. However, the reality is much more telling. It appears she has opted for ambiguity as a means of political survival. By deliberately dodging questions about her actual views, she aims to avoid being pinned down as either a far-left radical or a waffler. This tactic has left even dedicated Democrats bewildered about what she actually stands for, which might be precisely her intention. The Vice President clearly prefers to keep the electorate in the dark about her policy plans, primarily because there aren’t any coherent plans to reveal.
A closer examination shows that Kamala Harris has not only refused to clarify her previous policy positions but also seems to be enjoying the chaos that ensues from her vagueness. With over a dozen inquiries going unanswered in recent months, her public relations strategy revels in confusion. The more she sidesteps definitive responses, the more she teeters on the edge of oblivion in the race. This lack of clarity can only be deemed strategic, but if she takes office, it would make for a chaotic governance filled with unknown agendas and questionable decisions.
1/2 Here's the thing about principles: They always apply, no matter who you are speaking to, no matter what situation you find yourself in. @KamalaHarris has no principles. https://t.co/0DNXbKkxKz

Even while Harris tries to paint herself as a centrist, the glaring contradictions in her record expose her unoriginality. Once she was lagging behind in the Democratic primary, she floundered under pressure when called to account for her extreme views, many of which were highlighted in a brutal debate where she was soundly criticized for her time as attorney general in California. The current cheerleading from the far left, represented by figures like Bernie Sanders, should serve as a warning. At worst, she’s either looking to deceive voters or simply capitulating to the whims of her party’s more radical elements.
Kamala Harris’s penchant for theatricality—whether it’s adopting regional accents to pander to audiences or resorting to cringeworthy attempts at humor—further underscores her lack of authenticity. These antics, designed to resonate with various demographics, carry the stench of desperation. Meanwhile, what voters truly desire is a leader with solid principles and a reliable governing philosophy. Harris, however, appears to be content maintaining her role as a political puppet, dancing to the whims of whoever holds the reins at any given moment.
In the end, true principles are the bedrock of effective leadership, providing constancy and clarity in even the most turbulent times. The absence of such principles in Kamala Harris not only highlights her incapacity as a candidate but also reflects a larger issue within her party. The “no comment” approach may work for now, but it will not stand firm against the scrutiny that comes with the responsibilities of leading a nation. This lack of direction and coherence is a clear signal to voters that choosing Harris would result in an administration devoid of consistent governance and real commitment to the American public.
