A conversation with SEP US Presidential candidate Joseph Kishore





Nick Beams and Socialist Equality Party (Australia) assistant national-secretary Cheryl Crisp take part in a conversation with Joseph Kishore, the SEP candidate for president of the United States. During the course of his campaign, Kishore has intervened widely among different sections of workers entering into struggle for their social and democratic rights. He has exposed the attempts to channel growing political opposition behind the big business Democratic Party, including by warning against illusions in Bernie Sanders, who has now endorsed Joe Biden, the handpicked candidate of Wall Street and the military. Kishore has written extensively on the criminally-negligent response of the Trump administration and the Democrats to the coronavirus pandemic, which is leading to mass casualties and the deepest economic crisis since the depression. His campaign is the only one advancing an independent socialist program for the working class to intervene in the crisis and advance its own interests. Beams and Crisp pose a series of questions to Kishore, before the meeting is opened up for audience questions and comments.
