Goldberg Comments On Strategy
Every once in a while, the circus comes to town — and these days, the center ring is occupied full-time by The View. If you’re not already familiar with the program (bless you), imagine a panel of extremely well-paid women shouting over each other while pretending to represent the pulse of the American public — only with more crosstalk and less insight. And when Whoopi Goldberg starts issuing strategic advice to the Democratic Party, you’d better believe it’s time to hit the pause button and make sure you’re not watching a parody.
But no — this was real.
During a discussion about Kamala Harris’ new book (which, we can safely assume, was penned by someone whose name does not appear on the cover), Whoopi offered a stunningly candid assessment: that the 2024 election might have turned out differently if Democrats had just “kept their mouths shut” about Joe Biden’s steady cognitive decline.
Let’s unpack that.
According to Whoopi, the problem wasn’t that the sitting President of the United States visibly deteriorated in front of the nation — blank stares, word salads, and meandering tangents about “the thing, you know, the thing” — no, the real problem was that Democrats talked about it. Out loud. In public.

What she’s advocating, quite literally, is a conspiracy of silence surrounding the mental and physical capacity of the most powerful man in the free world. A man with the nuclear codes. A man responsible for making real-time decisions in global crises. A man who famously wandered off during international summits like a Roomba with a dying battery.
And yet, Goldberg seems to think the real betrayal was admitting it out loud.
This would be comedy gold if it weren’t so jaw-droppingly reckless.
But the absurdity didn’t stop with Whoopi. Joy Behar, dutifully dusting off her well-worn talking points, blamed sexism. According to her, America would “never elect a woman” — a comment that has aged as poorly as any cold take from 2016. Of course, Joy didn’t mention that Kamala Harris was so unpopular in her own party that she didn’t even make it to the first primary vote. That wasn’t sexism — that was performance. Or lack thereof.
Alyssa Farah Griffin offered a sliver of sanity, pushing back on the idea of party control over nominees and citing the 75% of voters who thought Biden was too old for another go. But then Sunny Hostin jumped in to defend Harris and the party line, completing the panel’s usual descent into what can only be described as televised political karaoke: everyone singing different songs, all off-key.
As for Harris herself? She’s always been the “break glass in case of emergency” VP — but the problem is, the glass shattered before the emergency, and no one could figure out what she was actually saying. If anyone killed her 2020 campaign, it was Harris herself — aided and abetted by Tulsi Gabbard, who, in one perfectly aimed debate moment, surgically dismantled Harris’ record like a career-ending review.
That Harris is now publishing a memoir is unsurprising. That it’s being taken seriously by the panel of The View is entirely on brand. And that the blame game continues, a full ten months after the election, is the clearest evidence yet that the Democrats’ internal collapse is well underway.
