While America was busy celebrating its 250th birthday on the Fourth of July, with Trump at Mount Rushmore and Vance aboard a Navy warship, Kamala Harris decided to mark the occasion by posting what might be the most aggressively meaningless statement ever committed to social media. As USA Journal noted, the former Vice President's contribution to America's semiquincentennial reads like it was generated by feeding a thousand Hallmark cards into a blender.
Here is the full post, which Harris shared on X: "When America is at our best, we look out for one another and know that we have much more in common than what separates us. That idea has been fundamental to the fabric of our nation since our founding. As we celebrate 250 years, let us always commit to honoring the progress we have made and continuing our fight to ensure the promise of America belongs to all of us."
That is the whole thing. Three sentences. You could read it fourteen times and still not be able to tell someone what it was about. It is the literary equivalent of a screensaver. It exists, it moves, and it conveys precisely zero information.
"We look out for one another." Thank you, Kamala. "We have much more in common than what separates us." Someone alert the historians. "The promise of America belongs to all of us." Thomas Jefferson is somewhere rolling over in his grave, not out of offense, but out of sheer boredom.
The only line that even hints at a real idea is the closer about "continuing our fight to ensure the promise of America belongs to all of us," which is standard Democratic boilerplate that has appeared in approximately ten thousand fundraising emails since 2016. It is the political equivalent of "live, laugh, love" but with more implied government programs.
The responses on X were predictably brutal. Users were quick to remind Harris of the Biden-Harris administration's greatest hits: the border crisis, runaway inflation, the Afghanistan withdrawal, skyrocketing energy prices, and a long list of promises that never quite materialized. Turns out people have memories, and those memories are not especially charitable.
Here is what makes this genuinely interesting though. Harris is reportedly among the frontrunners for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. This is the person the party is considering sending back into a national campaign after the 2024 loss. And her big reintroduction to the American public on the nation's biggest birthday is a post that reads like it was auto-generated by a LinkedIn bot having a particularly uninspired Tuesday.
You would think someone eyeing another run at the White House would use a moment like the 250th anniversary to say something memorable, something with a point of view, something that at least pretends to have a pulse. Instead we got three sentences of focus-grouped nothingness that a reasonably motivated middle schooler could have produced during study hall.
The voters saw through it in 2024. If this is any indication of the messaging strategy going forward, 2028 is not looking like a banner year for the word salad caucus either.
