Jockeying to Lead the Empire
On September 10th Kamala Harris and Donald Trump held their first presidential debate.

Neither of capital’s two preferred candidates spoke to the multiple and overlapping crises that are deteriorating the lives of working-class people. Below, Izzy Tellin and Michelle Rundquist share some analysis of the debate.
