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.

Marxist historian, commentator, author, and executive-director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research Vijay Prasad joins Bad Faith this week to talk about what global revolutions in Sri Lanka, India, Colombia, and other locales around the world can teach Americans trying to cultivate a left revolution here at home. How should the left put pressure on captured union leadership, and how can it hold left politician's accountable? Does the left "eat itself," or is it in a necessary processes of developing a more adversarial theory of change? How does Vijay believe he will see revolution in his lifetime even as he observes the enormous structural barriers to change?
