US presidential election: For a mass party of labor!
This years' campaign for the American presidency has been a hard fought one, with both sides doing everything legal -and sometimes illegal - to win. In the end it has come down to a dead heat between Vice President Al Gore and his opponent, Governor George W. Bush. Yet, with this seemingly divided electorate, many Americans still seem uninterested in who wins. In fact, nearly one half did not even bother to vote. Why would so many choose not to vote? Do they not care who will be directing the country? Of course they care. However, a vote for Bush is a vote for Gore and the working class understands that both Gore and Bush are two sides of the same coin: the coin of capitalism, only held by the ultra rich in America. Just as the rich own this coin so too do they own the two major American political parties. With the capitalist domination of the only two political parties in this nation, workers will never have a say unless they form a party of their own - a workers party by workers, for workers and their interests!
