Briahna Joy and Virgil do an unparalleled job of prompting Hedges with the best of questions.

It must become clear to those who stand up for freedom, against hate and murder/war, for grass-roots economic empowerment and social justice that the Dems have worked vigorously against these ideals in favor of consolidating corporate power and hegemony.
