Kamala Harris has been marching to the beat of a single drum: “Change!” She’s promised us that “we’re not going back” and that she’s leading a “new way forward.” And yet, in a recent interview on The View, when asked if she’d do anything differently than President Biden, Harris replied with a thoughtful, “Not a thing comes to mind.”
Now, folks, we’ve seen some top-notch double-talk from politicians before, but this might be a whole new level. After touting her commitment to reform, Kamala’s big twist for “change” is...more of the same? In Kamala's world nothing says ‘bold new vision’ like staying precisely where you are.
Change So Bold, It Looks Suspiciously Like Yesterday
Harris’ response was not a misstep or a mix-up; it was the VP’s clear signal that her brand of “change” doesn’t actually mean doing anything different. If this all sounds familiar, it might be because “Build Back Better” was already supposed to do just that—transforming America, one plan at a time! Yet here we are, looking at the exact same to-do list, now dubbed “the new way forward.”
The irony is rich. “Build Back Better” was set to deliver a fresh start, but it never quite got built. Apparently, the new vision is to keep hammering the same nails into the same policy boards and hope someone eventually notices the masterpiece. Kamala's vision of the future isn’t exactly forward-moving; it’s like a roundabout with a motivational speech.
Kamala’s Next-Level Slogan Strategy
Promising change without any change to show for it requires some real finesse. She’s like a chef who promises a revolutionary recipe, only to serve last week’s leftovers with a sprig of parsley on top. Her “not going back” mantra seems to mean sticking with the same-old ideas, with an extra side of soundbite. Or perhaps she’ll create a slogan about “progress” by reminding us that moving in circles is technically forward motion, if you squint hard enough.
So rest easy, America. Kamala Harris has assured us she’s bringing change—a change so transformative, it looks suspiciously like déjà vu. It’s not just any change, it’s the change of nothing. And nothing, as they say, is the boldest change of all.
