This evening at 7:30 pm ET, on a live virtual Zoom event, we’ll discuss why some people are planning to withhold their vote in the 2024 presidential election. David Sirota will be joined by Bhaskar Sunkara, founding editor of Jacobin and president of The Nation, to consider the strategic value (if any) of not voting to push for political change.

The two will also unpack President Joe Biden’s wins and failures and the stakes of his rematch with Donald Trump.
