A conversation between two great Progressive activists and essayists. Nader and Hedges discuss
* the corruption of the System, including the Democratic Party * the rule the 1% * the plight of college students and others in the ravaged American economy * the necessity of nonviolent popular rebellion
And they agree that--by staying within the corrupt and corporate-controlled Democratic Party--Left-ish presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is doing more harm than good.
