The Kamala Harris cringe continues

Vice President Kamala Harris had one job: Be the woman of color Joe Biden needed at his side to win the presidency. That job was completed in November, and now, it's clear that Harris doesn't know what to do with herself.

A New York Times story on Thursday attempted to make something out of Biden's recent announcement that he was appointing Harris to lead his administration's efforts to dismantle all the ways that states organize their elections. (This is often referred to by Democrats and the media as “expanding voter rights.”)
"Wow. Sounds like a serious undertaking," you might say. "How's she going to pull that off?!"
The article answered it this way: "Her advisers say she will take a wide-ranging approach to the issue by giving speeches, convening stakeholders and using the vice-presidential bully pulpit to raise awareness of the importance of the vote."
Translation: Harris will do some talks and media interviews with friendly journalists about why "voter rights" are important to the Biden administration.
That's it. That's the "wide-ranging approach."
Admittedly, it fits in with the rest of Harris's tenure as vice president so far. She was also tasked supposedly with controlling the catastrophic mess at the southern border. But since she was given that gift from Biden more than a month ago, her team has been busy working over the media to, as the New York Times previously put it, "reframe expectations around her role, stressing that she will examine the root causes of migration, not single-handedly stop the flow of migrants to the United States.”
It's like that scene from HBO's Veep when fictional Vice President Selina Meyer mistakenly makes a promise that backs her into a political corner that she can't escape. Realizing what she's done, she ridiculously instructs her staff, "I need you to make me not have said that."
Harris is aimless, and it shows with every pathetic attempt she makes at looking productive. She's the real-life Selina Meyer.
