Wednesday night, a vital debate and discussion took place at an online forum hosted by San Diego State University titled, “What is Left of American Democracy on the Eve of the 2020 Elections?” The panelists were David North, the Chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site, and Adolph Reed, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Over 400 people attended the lecture, flooding North and Reed with questions about the political crisis in the US, as well as the 1619 Project, climate change, and the way forward for workers.
