[AP Photo/Roman Koksarov] The midterm elections in the United States, now less than three weeks away, are expected to deliver a repudiation of US President Donald Trump and his policies of war, dictatorship and social austerity. Trump’s approval rating is at a record low. While appealing to working-class anger over the cost of living and social inequality, the Democrats are making clear that their central priority is a massive and catastrophic escalation of the war against Russia. The Democrats agree with Trump’s assault on social programs and the working class. Their conflict with Trump turns above all on what they claim is his insufficiently aggressive and consistent pursuit of the global interests of American imperialism. ]
