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.

Barakareturns toBad
Faithto discuss RFK Jr.'s appeal and
the strategic advantages of running as a Dem vs a third party
candidate. Is Cornel West hamstringing himself by running outside
of the Democratic Party? Is there an advantage to being included in
polls during the primary process? Does the #forcethedebate movement
help expose the Democratic Party in a way that wouldn't be possible
if RFK Jr. & Marianne Williamson were running as third party
candidates? Even so, do those candidates loose more than they gain
by their association with the Democratic Party? Can you truly run a
left campaign "as a Democrat"? And if the answer is no, why? Is the
real issue that you can't be adversarial to the Democratic Party as
a Democrat, or that no one whose tried has never opted to run in a
way that's truly oppositional to the corporate duopoly? Brie also
asks about the odds Cornel West will win the Green Party
nomination, whether there is tension with Howie Hawkins within the
party, & more.
