Tuesday marks eight weeks until the US presidential elections. Polls indicate that the contest between Harris and Trump is very close, including a NYT poll published today that shows Trump with a slight lead in the popular vote. What could be a more devastating indictment of the Democrats than the fact that the former president, who attempted to overthrow the last election in a fascistic coup, is able to gain traction and could even win the 2024 elections? Harris and the Democrats have absolutely nothing to put forward to deal with the social crisis and the devastating conditions confronting the broad mass of the population. Their central priority is the escalation of war, particularly the US-NATO war against Russia, which is not popular. And they, along with the Republicans, are fully responsible for the genocide in Gaza. The announcement that war criminal Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz, are backing Harris says everything about the politics of a future Harris administration. At the same time, it comprehensively exposes all the pseudo-left promoters of the Democrats, Sanders, AOC and the rest. Trump and the Republicans are utilizing the elections to build up the framework for an authoritarian regime, whether they win or not. As Trump made clear in his remarks to the New York Economic Club last week, the program of the Republican Party articulates the interests of the corporate and financial oligarchy. At the same time, Trump is able to capitalize on broad-based discontent that finds no expression within the political establishment. It is impossible to fight the danger posed by Trump through support for the Democrats. Not only will the Democrats intensify a war abroad that threatens nuclear annihilation, the entire experience of the Biden administration demonstrates that they serve not to undermine but rather strengthen the fascistic right. The only way forward is through the building of a political movement in the working class that articulates its interests, in opposition to the Democrats and Republicans and the entire capitalist system.
