Primaries, Socialists, and what YOU should do about it | Weekly Verdict 5

The candidates have been chosen and now it's time for the general election.

They examine the Democratic Party’s internal divide, the rise of Democratic Socialists (DSA), and whether voters will be motivated enough to show up in November. Plus: why local elections matter, why candidate vetting is essential, and why political participation cannot be optional.
