In its revised national political program, “Workers Deserve More,” formally launched on July 14, the DSA says America needs “a […]

The generic ballot is the political equivalent of a bathroom scale after Thanksgiving. Everybody stares at it. Almost nobody asks whether they were wearing boots. Over the last month the headline average barely twitched. Democrats still sit on a five-to-six-point lead in most blended national numbers. One tracker has them at 48.5 percent to 42.1 […]
