There seems to be a lot of consternation over the refusal of much of the leadership of DSA and Jacobin magazine, or at least its editor, to support Joe Biden. I have to admit it bothers me a bit, but a good glass of wine or beer takes me to a better place.
Seriously though, I keep in mind that neither one nor the other, nor both taken together are any more than a sliver of the broad band of young people who are tacking in a progressive and left direction and will vote for Joe Biden come this fall.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
