Jim Justice Switches Parties: Is This The End For Corporate Democrats? | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines West Virginia Governor Jim Justice's surprising announcement to switch from the Democratic Party to the GOP during a rally with Donald Trump. Following a viewer submission from Patreon supporter Jeff Poutine, Graham discusses the failure of corporate Democrats, low working-class employment, the decline of coal and the need for a Green New Deal, and how the DNC's backing of right-wing candidates backfires.
