What they said about Harris never was about being opposed to wars.
It was about being opposed to a woman commanding them and defending our allies and classical liberal values.
They never opposed following Donald Trump to commit plunder, rape, and murder for fun.

Much like most of the press, the wrecker left thought re-electing Trump would make them relevant like they were 2017-2019, & it's gone just as well for them as it did for the press.

The only logical reason I can think of why CNN and others keep asking this question is that they themselves and their donors are in the files and they don’t want them to be released

So, one reason to slow-walk EVERYTHING in the Trump era is that you need to give the procedural and paperwork fuck-ups time to emerge. You don’t grant UC. You don’t yield back post-cloture time. You don’t concede that paperwork is properly filed, or that signatures or appointments are validly made.
Oh, Tish James case dismissed too. Now Miss Hannigan has to start her orphanage.

Judge Chutkan agrees: there's something very fishy about the way Pam Bondi and her team have managed the Epstein files, and it's time now for the DOJ to come clean by complying with FOIA requests looking into internal communications.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

I am begging internet leftists to do even just a little reading about life in the eastern bloc. People still had to do jobs they didn’t really enjoy, and that’s not “capitalism.”

Bluntly: you don't want socialism, you want robots doing the work so you can have more time for what we can broadly call "leisure."
There is nothing wrong per se with this desire, but intellectual honesty requires we admit that as it stands socialism will probably involve the same "get up at 7 am."

This doesn't make capitalism the best we could possibly have it!
The problem is people are so used to socialism as a utopian pitch for freedom from contemporary wants that Hypothetical Utopia Socialism is compared to Extant Having to Administer Getting People To Do Necessary Jobs Capitalism.

Lolol this skeet has brought out exactly the type of folks in the QTs & replies that you think it would. "The historical alternatives to capitalism and liberal democracy are all a lot worse for the overwhelming majority of people on the planet," is definitely true, and it makes people so damn angry!
“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives

Every 2-4 years, a bunch of left-wing populists have the brilliant thought “Hey, what if people’s resentment of social minorities is actually just sublimated resentment for capitalist elites?” and then we get to spend 2-4 years once again learning that no, it’s very much the reverse
