Katha Pollitt says feminists should vote for Hillary—she will be good for women, and Bernie can’t win.
Start Making Sense is hosted by Jon Wiener and co-produced by the Los Angeles Review of Books.
But Liza Featherstone says feminists should not vote for Hillary—her record is full of attacks on poor women, starting with “welfare reform.”
And Tavis Smiley talks about Martin Luther King’s last year—the year that began with his speech condemning the war in Vietnam, where he called the US “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, and SoundCloud for new episodes each Thursday.
