How should socialists relate to the Democratic Party in electoral seasons and quieter times? Bill Resnick debates with Peter Solenberger, who’s counseled that socialists should not support, or worse, work for the Democrat candidates, even in swing states where the Republican candidate is a vicious, stupid, narcissistic, racist and misogynist thug. Bill Resnick contends Socialists should practice lesser evilism in that case. Both wish that the left had a political party growing because of the popularity of its vision. Bill also points out that Socialists should commit resources into winning Ranked Choice system to determine the winner. In that case a Left Party could thrive.
