We invited all of tomorrow's candidates to come on the show, and only one has agreed - Renato Mariotti, who is running for Illinois Attorney General.

This week we sat down with some of CDSA's most vocal feminists about their experiences as single leftists in the dating world.

I was looking for a job and then I found a job...Chicago DSA members describe the dehumanizing, irritating and unjust circumstances of their employment. Freelance writer, campaign worker, programmer, financial services, selling cookbooks over the phone. If it's a job, it's bullshit.
