Live at Truthdig: Questioning Republican and Democratic Extremism
On Thursday, Truthdig Editor in Chief Robert Scheer and his team discussed the political climate with special guest and Truthdig political correspondent Bill Boyarsky.
At 1 p.m. PDT Thursday, Truthdig streamed a live video discussion on our Facebook page.

What do you think Hillary Clinton’s strategy should be to defeat Donald Trump? And although Bernie Sanders endorsed Clinton, there is still much left for the Vermont senator to accomplish. What will his legacy be? Where should Sanders supporters focus their attention? Should they rally behind a grass-roots organization, such as Black Lives Matter, or fight the big banks?
