Democratic Socialists of America

Sharon Smith — Kamala Harris’ rhetoric has tended to be more progressive than Biden’s, but Biden’s policies are very likely to be Harris’ policies in a future presidency because Harris has never strayed far from them, whatever language she has used.

Max Elbaum — The mood among opponents of MAGA has shifted dramatically. But the electoral map hasn’t changed, and the Gaza genocide continues. What does this mean for progressives and the socialist Left?

Ashley Smith analyzes the impact of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on the deepening political crisis in the US and the ever growing weakness of the Joe Biden campaign.

Cyn Huang, Daniil Sapunkov and Amey discuss how the Palestine student movement plans to progress over the summer break and its impact on labour struggles, the left and the 2024 presidential elections.

Neal Meyer discusses the impact of the Gaza war on US politics, the recent rise in labour activism, and the current state of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Ashley Smith describes how Joe Biden’s economic program represents “imperialist Keynesianism” designed to rival China, ameliorate domestic social inequalities, and neutralize challenges from both the Left and the Trumpian right.
