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.
Left-Twitter has been beefing over the
question of "Bidenomics": Are left criticisms "fair" given metrics
which show improvements to the economy? Are they bad faith attacks
levied by opportunistic leftists who think Biden doing badly is
"good for the left?" Or are people praising Biden's accomplishments
simply putting their electoral objectives (eg, reelecting Biden)
over the sincerely held feelings of Americans who are struggling --
even as things improve? Two experts from either
side of this debate -- Matt Bruenig and
Claudia Sahm -- join Bad Faith to
discuss the so-called vibecession with a focus on
Eric Levtiz's recent piece in NY Mag.
America's only podcast. //
