Dr. Cornel West's decision to run for President has been embraced with enthusiasm by some on the left, and met with groans of disapproval by others. Disputes over the merits of Dr. West's candidacy have often pivoted on the question of whether it is more effective for him to run as a third-party candidate or as a Democrat. In a recent piece for The Nation, Bhaskar Sunkara and D.D. Guttenplan make the case for why they believe Dr. West should operate within the Democratic Party. The Marc Steiner Showexplores this question with these two authors.

D.D. Guttenplan is the editor-in-chief of The Nation.

Bhaskar Sunkara is the president of The Nation and the founding editor of Jacobin.
