EP.817: Tim Canova- Democrats Are Underestimating Donald Trump’s Strength for 2020!

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to former Congressional candidate against Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Tim Canova where he discusses the democratic primaries and who the strongest contenders are. He highlights Tulsi Gabbard’s strengths and highlights some weaknesses in Bernie Sanders’ campaign, warns democrats of following the same polls that lead them to lose in 2016, alleged corruption by Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and her power in the DNC and the media. He also discusses the corporate media’s oligarchic structure in the US and whether more centrist candidates such as Kamala Harris are as bad a candidate as Hillary Clinton was. Next, we speak to the Head of the UN Mission in South Sudan David Shearer about the conflict mainstream media avoid talking about, South Sudan. He discusses the humanitarian crisis as over 2 million refugees have fled the country, whether the creation of South Sudan has only exacerbated the problems, endemic corruption and other problems facing South Sudan, whether a peace deal can hold and more!
