Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer joined Seattle’s Kshama Sawant, writer Joe Conason and The Nation’s Michelle Goldberg on “Democracy Now!” to discuss the official beginning of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Scheer and Sawant made it quite clear that a war-mongering candidate who is not only in Wall Street’s pocket but is also a “total hypocrite,” as evidenced by her comments about Edward Snowden, is no progressive at all. Conason and Goldberg, however, took a different stance.

Watch the four talk to Amy Goodman about Clinton’s past, present and future, below.
