(Adam Gray / Getty Images) By Postmedia News November 2, 2026 at 10:56 a.m. The U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3 are the first big chance for the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to rewire the way the United States works, with dozens of endorsed candidates eager to seize on the unpopularity of President Donald Trump and the Republicans. But if you’re exasperated by the disruption and instability of Trump, these radicals promise to be much worse, as Brian Lilley discusses with American journalists David Kaufman and J.D. Tuccille. With its anti-capitalist, anti-corporate dogma, the DSA distrusts free trade with Canada even more than the president does. It also wants to end military alliances, entirely rewrite the constitution and cut off all support for Israel. And, as our guests explain, these neo-revolutionaries have momentum on their side.
