Robert Brenner

Marc Cooper, a journalist known for his leftist political insights, and Robert Brenner, a historian of social movements, delve into the implications of a dynamic Democratic Convention. They discuss how the convention's pro-union and youthful vibe united different party factions while downplaying crucial issues like climate change and Palestinian rights. The duo critiques the Harris-Waltz campaign's strategy of balancing progressivism with mainstream appeal, all amidst a divided political landscape that demands engaging non-voters and reassessing class discourse.
