The 2008 elections are reflecting the widespread demand for “change,” but many remain skeptical that the Democrats can deliver. Can the influence of big business campaign contributors be broken, allowing the anti-war, pro-worker politics of the Democratic base guide policy in Washington? Or is the Democratic Party too corrupted by corporate cash? Should progressive workers and youth support independent campaigns like Nader’s and struggle to build a new mass anti-war, pro-worker party?
