Bad Faith is two shows in one: it's a panel show about politics and pop culture with a rotating cast of performers and politicians, artists and activists, writers and radicals; and it's a two-way podcast where two people from two very different parts of the left make the case for one less terrible world. Briahna Joy Gray (@briebriejoy) is a former attorney, National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign, co-host of campaign podcast Hear The Bern, and a journalist who is early enough in her political career that she remains (tragically) sanguine. Virgil Texas (@virgiltexas) is an internet user and co-host of Chapo Trap House.
This
week, Briahna speaks to journalist & editor atMultipolaristaBenjamin Nortonand 2016 Green Party VP &
National Organizer for Black Alliance for PeaceAjamu Barakaabout the recent election of the first left President
of Colombia. What are the implications for US imperialism in the
region, and what lessons does it hold for American leftists
watching our own Democracy crumble? Ajamu lives in Colombia, and
has had a personal relationship with VP-elect Francia Marquez since
she was a teenager. Ben and Ajamu explain how powerful left
movements forced new president Gustavo Petro to select the
Afro-Colombian environmental and indigenous rights activist as his
VP, and win an historic election.
