The Mark Weaver Show

Guest is executive director of the Green Party of the U.S.A., Brent McMillan, in an hour long discussion of the state of the Democratic Party and Green Party strategies for creating a genuine progressive space in American politics. With corporatists, militarists and their shills dominating the Democratic Party and actively undermining the few genuine progressive elements of the party, and the feeble President Obama stuck in Iraq and expanding wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan, threatening Iran over its legal nuclear program, facilitating the continuing theft of Palestinian lands and the inhuman blockade of Gaza by Israel, the institutionalization of most of the fascistic civil liberties violations of Bush & Cheney, the protection of Big Business economic domination and the failure to curb the excessive power of Wall Street, it is now time to seek alternatives to the Democratic Party.
