| | The 2000 U.S. Presidential Elections and the Anti-Imperialist Left : LA IMC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The every-four-year U.S. presidential elections are important historical junctures in which forces across the political spectrum assess the current conditions facing the U.S. nation state and present competing strategies for the future of the country. |
 | | This history shapes the political culture today, as elections are dominated by a chauvinist, punitive, and aggressively racist white majority, with minority communities badly split on ideological and class lines, and with many of society’s most oppressed members and groups unregistered, undocumented, and incarcerated. |
 | | The elections are a time when the national political debate, as dormant and bankrupt as it is, is raised to a more visible level in which the Left should try to maximize its influence. |
