Howie Hawkins, candidate for the Green Party’s presidential nomination, joined to offer his point of view on the way forward for the American left. Hawkins elaborated on the barriers to third parties in the US, why their successes sometimes go unheralded and the importance of voting for what you truly want and making the political system deal with those desires. He also explained his eco-socialist platform, his Green New Deal and how he’s budgeted his plans, and policy positions on nuclear weapons and arms control, income inequality and other issues.
