@AOC on Twitter: "From OrbΓ‘n to Trump, the rise of far-right movements is tightly coordinated and transcends borders.
So too should be our international defense of democracy and the fight for working people.
From policy to tactics, itβs time to take the gloves off and fight for our future."

I actually find it an extra bummer because for a long time there was virtually no one would go hard for consumer/worker rights in the video game industry so I really did appreciated her voice.

put it this way:
would you (a us socialist) trust a liberal who defended chuck schumer's decision not to endorse mamdani? or made excuses for people who abstained in that race
probably not, right?

i've heard from a few on the us socialist left that they feel its unfair their faction has become (negatively) associated with voting abstention
& to an extent i agree - most sanders voters did vote hillary, the leadership was certainly solidly behind biden, then harris

"Then the protagonist got scared and fell down and banged their head. The End."
Just watched a slow burn, haunted house, horror movie with this type of ending, and most people seemed to not like it at all. Now I wonder if this type of ending has ever worked well? I can't think of any examples.

hot take maybe? When democrats get power they should do a thorough investigation of people like Weis, audits and subpoenas constantly.

Also "We can't judge them because of the standards of their time" completely ignores the contemporary debates and some of them that need to be judged were actually conflicted and knew it was wrong but couldn't find a better way.

I think the "Spartans were pedophile slavers" line has gotten through to mainstream lib-left consciousness.
But I wish more people knew "virtually all Spartan elites killed at least one uppity slave, at night, as a rite of passage into the Gestapo upper class".
True evil.
