(All this fucking bullshit from Jacobin continues as if over the next 20 years electing 'democratic socialists" can turn the USA into Sweden. By then, Sweden will look like Somalia. As Willy Loman said in "Death of a Salesman", "the woods are burning." Willy said it because his world was falling apart. We say it now because our world is falling apart. If those 65,000 members of DSA started getting jobs in Amazon warehouses and used their social power to squeeze Jeff Bezos's balls in a general strike, that would be the kind of revolutionary socialism that is needed, not that weak tea "democratic socialism" that is nothing except left-liberalism of the George McGovern variety. At least, McGovern never pretended that his campaign had anything to do with socialism.)
There’s a pandemic raging and Bernie Sanders is off the ballot, but other candidates inspired by his campaign are still running — like Rick Krajewski and Nikil Saval, two candidates for the Pennsylvania state legislature with roots in working-class fights, who are backed by Sanders and the Democratic Socialists of America.
