Described as the American Political Duopoly, the Republican and Democratic parties have dominated politics since the mid 1800s. Today, with the launch of the novel American Communist Party, Young Voices is hosting a debate to consider the following resolution: The American Communist Party offers a better alternative to the current Duopoly system.
American Communist Party’s Chairman, Haz Al Din (Infrared) will be debating the positive while Young Americans for Liberty’s Ben Williams (PraxBen) will be debating the negative. We hope you’ll join us at Sovereign House in New York City Thursday, October 10th, 2024.
