Like It or Not, If We Run Third Party, We Will Lose
Socialists say they either want to “realign” the Democratic Party or break with it entirely. But those aren’t political strategies — they are outcomes of political struggle. We need a way to develop working-class politics without condemning ourselves to third-party marginality.

Joe Biden told us there was an easy path. Reality will soon catch up to that fantasy.
After Last Night’s Elections, “the Squad Is Here to Stay”
Last night's elections brought us some very good news, with Cori Bush securing an historic upset in Missouri and Rashida Tlaib easily cruising to reelection in a race the mainstream media predicted would be close. Leftists are still a small minority in the halls of power — but we're gaining steam.
