During a wide-ranging 45-minute interview, Jimmy Dore and Green Party presidential candidate discussed neo-fascism, white supremacy, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, COVID policy, the criminal justice system and what it will take for Dr. West to gain traction with his campaign.

In this segment Jimmy addresses many of these concerns, clarifying his position on the issue of white supremacy, the neofascism of both parties and the optimal electoral strategy for a third party candidate.
