Regardless of which candidate makes it to the White House, the real winner will once again be the one or another section of the imperialist, neoliberal, financialized, warmongering, pro-genocide US ruling class. Both appear set to keep the conflagrations raging in West Asia and Ukraine going, while provoking China and Russia and pushing the world ever closer to nuclear war. Both will keep increasing the burdens of working people in the US while favoring a few dozen big corporations. Our panel asks whether and how the duopoly’s stranglehold on the political system may be broken.
