Neither Biden nor Trump: Keep DSA Independent!

April 8, 2024

Rhode Island DSA asks the National Political Committee to reject any DSA-sponsored “defeat Trump” effort, such as the campaign proposed by the NPC minority in their “2024 Organizing Plan.” An implicit or explicit endorsement of either candidate would compromise our organization’s political independence and alienate us from those working people who are looking for an alternative to the two capitalist parties. Instead, the DSA ought to criticize both Trump and Biden, explain how Democrats and Republicans harm workers here and abroad, and explicitly advocate for a new party of the working class.
