Then \u2014 poof \u2014 those folks disappeared when President Barack Obama was elected \u2014 despite the Iraq war and Afghanistan war continuing \u2014 and haven\u2019t been seen since.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/that-was-quick-progressives-pull-ukraine-peace-letter-after-democratic-backlash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looked<\/a> like the \u201cprogressive\u201d wing of the Democratic Party was ready to re-launch those sorts of efforts by finally voicing opposition to President Joe Biden\u2019s strategy in Ukraine, but that plan was promptly snuffed out by Democratic elites.<\/p>\n<p>Congresswoman Prima Jayapal (D-WA) had authored a letter co-signed by 50 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) asking Biden to proactively seek peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>By Tuesday morning, the CPC had retracted the letter and blamed anonymous staffers for sending it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent comments from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sent a message loud and clear: <em>The Swamp wants this war to last as long as possible. Keep it quiet, peaceniks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Folks like Congressman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) dutifully got in line.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely that the Democratic base even knew the letter was sent in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The larger story is that the anti-war Left is dead and gone \u2014 if it ever even existed.<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal\u2019s reasoning for pulling the letter was chiefly because calling for peace talks appeared to line up with GOP talking points \u2014 which is a no-go. It appears that leftists can\u2019t call for an end to bloodshed if it means that certain Republicans would march alongside them.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) dared suggest that the U.S. has to reconsider whether or not we want to provide Ukrainian President Volodmy Zelensky with a blank check.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, Jayapal cited McCarthy as the sort of person she \u2014 and her colleagues \u2014 don\u2019t want to be associated with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the timing, our message is being conflated by some as being equivalent to the recent statement by Republican Leader McCarthy threatening an end to aid to Ukraine if Republicans take over,\u201d Jayapal <a href=\"https:\/\/progressives.house.gov\/press-releases?ID=5E8128B9-75AC-4E00-8738-24D9951BB606#:~:text=October%2025%2C%202022&#038;text=%E2%80%9CThe%20Congressional%20Progressive%20Caucus%20hereby,I%20accept%20responsibility%20for%20this.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>, noting that the letter \u201ccreated the unfortunate appearance that Democrats \u2026 are somehow aligned with Republicans who seek to pull the plug on American support for President Zelensky and the Ukrainian forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the CPC would rather support Biden as he bumbles, stumbles, and fumbles the entire globe to World War III than engage in bipartisanship.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Democratic Party at large is actually in cahoots with Republican leaders as it relates to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mitch-mcconnell-claims-we-all-agree-the-most-important-thing-going-on-in-the-world-right-now-is-the-war-in-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in the spring, \u201cWe all agree that Ukraine is the most important thing in the world right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More recently, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/10\/21\/gop-congressional-leaders-split-on-ukraine-aid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> that a GOP-led Senate \u201cwill focus its oversight on ensuring timely delivery of needed weapons and greater allied assistance to Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a CNN report, Republicans in the House are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/26\/politics\/kevin-mccarthy-house-gop-ukraine-funding-blank-check\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wary<\/a> of their anti-war colleagues and members of the media who criticize Washington\u2019s war effort.<\/p>\n<p>It seems the only people who are consistently calling for peace in Ukraine are Pope Francis, Henry Kissinger, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Musk was threatened by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for tweeting a path toward ending the war.<\/p>\n<p>So in other words, the entire Uniparty \u2014 the establishment of both sides \u2014 is hellbent on opposing any discussions of peace.<\/p>\n<p>It seems evident that conservatives and non-woke individuals who support diplomacy want to save lives.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Jaypal made clear that progressives only want dialogue so long as it doesn\u2019t mean they agree with Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>She closed her statements by saying, \u201cThe letter sent yesterday \u2026 has been conflated with GOP opposition to support for the Ukrainians\u2019 just defense of their national sovereignty. As such, it is a distraction at this time and we withdraw the letter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That conflation could help GOP right before the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>For leftists, the war can continue if it helps Democrats maintain power.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not anti-war and never have been.
