Will Lehman: 

Harris, Trump and Biden are all capitalist politicians. They represent the interests of the ruling class, not the working class.

Fascism and dictatorship cannot be prevented by voting for Harris, and war and inflation cannot be stopped by voting for Trump. Workers need a strategy and a party to unite us internationally, against war, genocide, inequality and their root cause– the capitalist system.
