Kamala Harris is having quite the rough ride in her campaign—though she seems to be oblivious to the fact that sitting on the fence just might not win her any fans. By staying silent on the pressing issues of the day, Harris appears to be playing a risky game of political poker. The catch? Every time she finally bites the bullet and expresses an opinion, she only seems to manage to bury herself deeper.
In the rare instances when Harris decides to share her thoughts, they often come across as a jumbled mess that even Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster would find confusing. The Vice President’s attempts to address matters typically leave viewers scratching their heads instead of feeling reassured. One almost wonders if she’s trying to single-handedly redefine the phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” as she continually missing the mark on what Americans actually care about.

Harris’s silence is as loud as a bullhorn in a library. On major issues affecting everyday Americans, she tiptoes around like a cat on a hot tin roof. In an age where voters are desperate for clear and decisive leadership, Harris seems to be stuck in a game of charades. Each public engagement is fraught with the risk of miscommunication, causing her support to erode faster than the public’s faith in a weather app during a tornado.
Ironically, Harris’s biggest challenge might just be her attempts to address the chaos she has managed to stir up. When she does speak, the fallout often leaves the public wondering if they accidentally tuned into a particularly bizarre episode of a reality show instead of a political update. With her notorious word salad instincts taking center stage, it’s almost a guarantee that her quotes will be the gift that keeps on giving for late-night comedians.
In short, Kamala Harris is living proof that sometimes silence is golden, but when you break that silence, it’s best to have something coherent to say. For now, she might be better off sticking to her strategy of keeping quiet. After all, as the old saying goes, better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt—though in Harris’s case, it’s hard to say which is worse.
