Wolff Responds: The Splitting of US Politics

In this Wolff Responds, Prof. Wolff talks about the polarization occurring within both the Democratic and the Republican parties. The cracks and splits within each party are deeper and more threatening than ever before. The catastrophic problems of the American capitalist system, with its record number of deaths from COVID-19, high unemployment and massive wealth inequalities remain unaddressed by Democrats and Republicans alike. Wolff argues that the fissures within each political party create opportunities for those at the margins of American politics never seen before. Wolff Responds is a @Democracy At Work production.
