Socialists are mad Harris is giving them what they thought they wanted
 
CHICAGO — Although the barbarians outside the gates of the Democratic National Convention believe themselves to be opposed to Kamala Harris's milquetoast support for our democratic ally Israel, even the angriest protesters admitted they like what the vice president has to say about the economy.
 
"We would love price controls that actually work," one particularly hysterical demonstrator from Workers Strike Back said as he lambasted my suggestion that the Democratic presidential nominee would characterize herself as pro-labor. "The price controls that work are a working class that's organized in powerful unions, that can win powerful games for working-class people, and that's not the politics of your newspaper, is it?"

It's less that the politics of the Washington Examiner want the working class to lose and more that central planning seldom results in the stated intentions of collectivists. The antisemitism of the socialists protesting Harris over her concession that Israel, indeed, has the right to exist means that they have to pretend to hate the Democratic presidential nominee. But it's clear both in her record and emerging proposals, as well as the concessions of the protesters, that Harris is trying to give them nearly everything they asked for — it just turns out that even socialists don't love the consequences of their policies.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
