„eine obdachlose Mutter und ihr sieben\u00adj\u00e4hriger Sohn im kalifornischen Berkeley“. Truth be told there are a couple guys living on mattresses underneath a train overpass a few blocks from me. I pass them each time I walk to the grocery store. But the third item which caught my eye here, and the one I wanted to note, is the subtitle. What American left intellectuals and politicians mean by „democratic socialism“ is of interest to only a fringe population in the US, as was well illustrated by the 2016 and 2020 Sanders campaigns, by the New York Times<\/span>‚ endorsement<\/a> of Warren and Klobuchar. I remember last year having dinner with two very nice middle-aged American tourists who backed Klobuchar. Klobuchar? Last year a high school friend of mine earnestly endorsed Buttigieg. A woman I’d known when we were six posted on her Facebook page, amid notices of Twelve Step meetings and Christian inspirational messages, the announcement that she was voting for Joe Biden<\/span>. What American left intellectuals and politicians mean by „democratic socialism“ is as meaningful to these people as is the terms of the Peace of Westphalia.<\/p>\n

So un\u00fcbersichtlich die Szene auch sein mag, in einem ist sie sich einig: Ihre Solidarit\u00e4t gilt nicht den Clintonites, sondern den Sanderistas, den Anh\u00e4ngern von\u00a0Bernie Sanders<\/a>. In ihren Augen verk\u00f6rpern die Clintons all das, was sie an der Demokratischen Partei nicht ausstehen k\u00f6nnen \u2013 die Leisetreterei, den Opportunismus, das S\u00fc\u00dfholzraspeln mit der Geldaristokratie. Entt\u00e4uscht sind sie auch von Barack Obama. Mit einfachen Gesetzen h\u00e4tte er 2008 die Opfer der Finanzkrise davor bewahren k\u00f6nnen, zu Tausenden ihre H\u00e4user aufgeben zu m\u00fcssen \u2013 stattdessen habe er der Wall-Street-Connection den roten Teppich ausgerollt.\u00a0Joe Biden<\/span>\u00a0ist nat\u00fcrlich auch ein Clintonite; der Jacobin-Autor Branko Marcetic nennt ihn einen „yesterday\u2019s man“, der konsequent seine Partei nach rechts getrieben habe (ZEIT ONLINE, 20.\u200910.\u200920<\/a>). Und Kamala Harris? Als kalifornische Justizministerin habe sie ihre Verdienste; doch vor der Tatsache, dass das R\u00e4derwerk der Justiz vor allem Schwarze treffe, habe sie in ihrer Amtszeit kapituliert.<\/p>\n

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) hei\u00dft der Debattierclub, der eine neue Generation linker Politiker hervorgebracht hat. Zu ihren prominentesten Vertretern geh\u00f6ren die Kongressabgeordneten\u00a0Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>\u00a0oder\u00a0Ilhan Omar<\/a>, die vor Jahren mit israelfeindlichen Bemerkungen f\u00fcr Emp\u00f6rung sorgte. Inzwischen haben die DSA \u00fcber 60.000 Mitglieder, wobei die Wahl\u00a0Trumps<\/span>\u00a0ihnen einen spektakul\u00e4ren Zuwachs verschaffte. Doch was hei\u00dft schon spektakul\u00e4r. Die Christians United For Israel (CUFI) freuen sich \u00fcber sieben Millionen Mitglieder.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
