With the US Presidential election looming, pressure is mounting to vote for Joe Biden to keep Trump out. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Keely Mullen, Socialist Alternative (ISA USA)<\/p>\n

Even the New York Times has carried an editorial headed \u201cWhy socialists should support Joe Biden\u201d. But socialists should not abdicate the struggle in favour of \u2018lesser evilism\u2019 just because there\u2019s an election afoot.<\/p>\n

I live in New York City and almost every conversation I\u2019ve had about the election in the past month has gone according to the same loop: \u201cTrump is awful, Biden isn\u2019t much better, but I\u2019ll vote for Biden because I hate Trump.\u201d I understand this logic. It comes from people\u2019s overwhelming desire to resolve the chaos around us and to put an end to the growth of the right. But while this position is very understandable it is missing the larger picture which socialists have an obligation to explain. The corporate media and Democratic establishment is religiously arguing that \u201creturning to normal\u201d and fighting the right means casting a vote for the Democrat-of-the-Day. Left wing organizations, socialist organizations, and prominent socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders should not be meekly adopting this logic.<\/p>\n

Despite how awful Trump is and what his reelection would mean for working people, many millions of Americans are still dreadfully unexcited about voting for Biden. Imagine if, in this situation, rather than conceding when he did and bending the knee to the establishment, Bernie Sanders\u2019 was campaigning for a new party for working people. In the context of a global pandemic, an uprising against racist police violence, and overwhelming support for Medicare for All and taxing the rich this could have galvanized millions of young and working people. It would have presented a historic opportunity for a jailbreak from the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Because of his refusal to take these steps, we\u2019re now staring at a contest between two bad options for working people with nowhere else to look. Socialists have a responsibility to clarify how we got here and what opportunities have been missed.<\/p>\n

Debates on the Left<\/b><\/p>\n

In an article<\/a> written by Eric Blanc and Neal Meyer, prominent figures in Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), they write: \u201cSocialists cannot stop this nightmare on our own. But we can and should be part of the broader movement that does. Yes, unfortunately that means voting for Joe Biden and doing our best to convince our friends, family, coworkers, comrades, and neighbors to do so as well \u2014 and to do so regardless of where you live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
Democratic Socialists of America<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a departure from what was an already<\/i> conservative approach taken by a number of leading figures in DSA who signed a pledge<\/a> calling cleverly for an \u201canti-Trump vote\u201d without ever saying Biden\u2019s name. DSA is an organization that is close to hitting 80,000 members, it includes elected officials in local and state governments as well as unions \u2013 it has an obligation to lead the struggle against the far right, not abdicate it because there\u2019s an election afoot.<\/p>\n

There are millions of people who are tired of being taken for granted by the Democratic Party and are ready for bold, left wing leadership. To these people, Blanc and Meyer\u2019s advice is: organizing on behalf of Joe Biden is the most effective way to fight the right. This is a tragic abdication.<\/p>\n

There are already hundreds of millions of dollars flooding into Biden\u2019s campaign, thousands of NGOs doing GOTV, and figures like Obama and even Bernie running around the country getting out the vote for Biden. Yet somehow it\u2019s also the responsibility of disillusioned working people who\u2019ve been thrown out with the garbage by the Democratic Party to \u201cget out the vote\u201d for Biden?<\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands of working class fighters could be brought into the socialist movement if they saw something bold and unapologetic on offer. However, what they\u2019re seeing from certain leading members in DSA \u2013 as well as from Bernie Sanders himself \u2013 is more of the same.<\/p>\n

We hope rank and file DSA members will respectfully discard Blanc and Meyer\u2019s advice and instead call for a vote for Howie Hawkins, the socialist Green Party candidate as a means of concretely pointing to the Democratic Party exit sign. While we don\u2019t agree with everything he says, DSA member Jeremy Gong\u2019s response<\/a> to Blanc and Meyer\u2019s article is overall very positive and we would encourage DSA members to read it. We would enthusiastically welcome DSA chapters to join Socialist Alternative in our efforts to pull together coalitions in our cities to prepare mass demonstrations and civil disobedience if Trump tries to steal the election.<\/p>\n

If Trump wins, it will not be the fault of working people who didn\u2019t feel represented by either candidate and chose not to vote. It will also not be the fault of people who registered a protest vote against both candidates. It will be the fault of the Democatic Party for putting up a corporate, sometimes catatonic, candidate to fight Trump when they had Sanders on offer, a candidate that was galvanizing millions of people.<\/p>\n

The Democratic elite created Trump<\/b><\/p>\n

In their article, Blanc and Meyer do not devote a single sentence to explaining the role the Democratic Party played in creating the space for Trump and Trumpism to thrive. This is likely not an accident as any thorough investigation into the logic of widespread \u201clesser evilism\u201d would turn up proof that the Democrats\u2019 ruthless attacks on working people over decades has fertilized the soil for Trumps to pop up. This is a crucial historic lesson for working class activists to draw out.<\/p>\n

On November 8th, 2016, there was a collective jaw drop as Trump overtook Hillary Clinton in electoral votes and became the U.S. president elect. The liberal pollsters and pundits stared in shock, completely unable to explain how their perfect candidate with decades of experience in D.C. lost to a bombastic billionaire businessman and reality TV star.<\/p>\n

They couldn\u2019t understand that the ascendency of Donald Trump, just like the ascendency of the Tea Party before him, lay at the feet of their own incompetence and subservience to the billionaire class.<\/p>\n

The Democrats controlled the White House and both branches of Congress during then the worst financial crisis in the U.S. since the Great Depression (until now). With their supermajority, they found it in their hearts to give trillions of dollars to big banks on Wall Street but shrugged in the face of nine million jobs lost and four million homes foreclosed on.<\/p>\n

In the eight years that followed, while Obama and Biden were comfortably in office, billionaire wealth exploded and the working and middle classes never got off their knees. Sure, unemployment fell \u2014 but the vast majority of jobs created under Obama\u2019s administration were low wage, service jobs. Those same jobs that have now disappeared amidst the 2020 COVID-19 hellscape.<\/p>\n

The Democrats\u2019 predictable abandonment of working people during the Obama\/Biden administration \u2014 which followed the reckless lending, deregulation, and financialization efforts and the relentless attacks on the gains of working people that marked the Clinton and Bush presidencies \u2014 laid the basis for Trump\u2019s surprise victory in 2016. They were not able to motivate working class people to get out and cast a vote for Hillary Clinton whose presidency would give them more of the same. More than 200 counties that supported Obama in 2012 flipped for Trump just four years later!<\/p>\n

Trump also whipped up a nativist, reactionary agenda in his 2016 campaign which he has built on ever since. The Democrats were in no position to mount a credible challenge to his reactionary ideas.<\/p>\n

So not only did the Democrats lay out a red carpet from Trump\u2019s Manhattan penthouse directly to the steps of the White House, they\u2019ve done a grand total of nothing to fight him during the four years he\u2019s been there!<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve poured literally years worth of attention and energy into the Russiagate scandal and impeachment nonsense \u2014 effectively removing themselves from the real <\/i>fights that affect working people. They\u2019ve substituted any real fight against Trump for symbolic acts of \u201cresistance\u201d and sassy tweets. This is made depressingly clear with Amy Coney Barret\u2019s seamless nomination to the Supreme Court which the Democrats did not even pretend to fight.<\/p>\n

If the left is ever going to gain the ear and attention of ordinary people, it cannot be done by lining up behind whatever corpse the Democratic Party trots out on election year. That is not true \u201charm reduction.\u201d That approach contributes to the steady march toward something worse than Trump by propping up the exact forces that handed him the mic in the first place.<\/p>\n

A Biden administration may be prepared to spend a significant amount of money given the scale of the ongoing economic crisis, but we should be under no illusion he will represent any semblance of a progressive agenda. His administration, as well as most Democrats in Congress, will relentlessly attack working people with big business bailouts, handouts to big insurance companies, and opposition to popular policies like Medicare for All. The space for the far right will very likely grow under a Biden administration and Trump may well continue building support for his ideas even if he loses. In fact, a \u201cTrump-unleashed\u201d situation where he is free to rally his base outside the confines of elected office could lead to the creation of a far-right party.<\/p>\n

Independent politics needed to defeat the Right<\/b><\/p>\n

A real fight against Trump, and the reactionary forces floating in his orbit, requires decisive steps. We need the broader left to boldly take up campaigning for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, COVID relief for working people, and to defund the police. As part of building these movements, it is crucial that we begin taking steps to build an independent, left-wing political alternative outside the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

The real \u201charm reduction\u201d that organizations and prominent figures on the left should be engaging in is mobilizing the broadest ranks of the working class into mass movements and urgently creating a new political party with a working class program and class struggle approach. A party that can be a political home to the millions of ordinary people who supported Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n

Left-wing organizations and figures should not direct disillusioned working people back into the Democratic Party trap. They should be leading from the front in a march directly outside the Democratic Party and toward something new. There\u2019s no time to waste in fighting the right and the billionaire class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
