Before the DNC, the Democratic Party agonized over whether Bernie supporters would unite under Hillary’s banner. Now the concern is that the most hardline Bernie-or-Busters, unwilling to compromise their ideals, will throw their support behind Green Party candidate Jill Stein and create another disastrous "Ralph Nader" situation. But does a vote for Hillary have to entail a compromise of progressive ideals? Bob talks with Nathan J. Robinson, editor of the progressive political magazine Current Affairs, who says voting, long considered the ultimate expression of personal values, can and should remain a purely pragmatic choice.
