Preview Mode Links will not work in preview mode

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.

Democrats avoided a red wave and held onto the Senate, but they didn't avoid a red wave in New York. If they had, they, they might have held on to the house as well. New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani and journalist on the NY beat Ross Barkan rejoin Bad Faith podcast to explain the bloodbath in NY. Who is at fault? DCCC chair Sean Patrick Maloney, who pushed Mondaire Jones out of his district and then lost? Is the the state party's fault for dropping the ball on the redistricting battle that caused Maloney to flee his own district? What role did Kathy Hochul's pivot right on crime play? And will there be any accountability for blue dog malfeasance?
