Sparta had 30 years of power. Then 300 gay dudes from Thebes (a democracy, WOKE) smashed the Spartans at Leuctra.
Sparta was a slave state led by a class of pedophile murderer plutocrats.
In short: Aura farming rapists.
Is it any wonder why American fascists worship Sparta?

It's very frustrating that MUG (and more broadly, the DSA Left)
- have clear strategies of electoral politics
- have had 6+ years to test them
- have won 0 times
- have not changed their strategy
At some point it feels like "Socialist Tribune Electoralism cannot fail, only be failed".

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

No, White people should not embrace neo-Paganism. Why should White people care what dead European shamans believed?

Death to racialism.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Aside: Gavin Newsom's strategy to pivot right isn't just evil, it's stupid.
He governs California. He's been the Woke Socialist on Fox News for a decade.
He could say the T-slur every day for a year. Wouldn't matter. The median voter would still think he's transing kids in Commiefornia!

1: Trans people have MUCH stronger legal protections in blue states than red. Look at that linear correlation!
2: Every Dem state but HI has a "shield" law for youth gender-affirming care. Every Rep state but AK has a ban.

The American electoral-party system is unique in the world: State-run partisan primaries, very strong candidates, very weak "parties".
No Euro country has this. They have dues-paying membership parties. Most have more responsive, less corrupt politics than we. What gives?

Do people not realize it is illegal for parties to do this in the United States because we decided around the turn of the last century that we didn't want unaccountable party bosses to decide who we could vote for
