We are the Committee to Revive the Social Democrats, USA. We are doing this because the American Left needs the anti-totalitarian SDUSA. To read our statement of principles, click here.

*NEW* We have endorsed the candidacies of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Obama and Biden are not socialists. They are not even clearly liberal, in the American sense. However, we prefer them to their Republican opponents. We are not deluded. The election of a Democratic president will not change society to be profoundly fairer and more equitable. A Republican, on the other hand, will be a profound detriment to fairness in the American economy. We wish that America had a socialist movement strong enough to field credible candidates. That is not presently the case. Brian Moore, the candidate of the Socialist Party of the United States of America, strikes us as a fine fellow and a comrade. He appears to be a democratic socialist without totalitarian leanings. Where possible, we will aid Moore in reaching a larger audience with his message. We prefer Moore to Nader, McKinney, or Barr. However, it truly matters to trade-unionists, to the poor, to those without healthcare whether Barack Obama or John McCain is our next president. We urge anyone where the race is close to vote for Obama. We are not convinced that any states will not be close. In states where the presidential race is lopsided and for those who absolutely cannot bring themselves to vote for a major party candidate, we find Moore preferable to other third-party candidates.

Check out the front page to see our endorsement of the Obama/Biden ticket. There is a great deal of work for social democrats in this campaign. Many citizens cannot get past racial or gender biases in order to support Obama. This could be tragic. The right has already begun to attack Obama as a communist and a supporter of totalitarians. As social democrats, we need to combat unfair attacks on Barack Obama and the prejudices which could leave our nation in its current malaise.

In the coming year we look forward to the candidacies of our own members who will run for public office. As information on their campaigns becomes available it will be posted here.
