Episode description

Former Seattle City Council member, socialist, & co-founder of Workers Strike Back Kshama Sawant returns to Bad Faith for an important conversation about where the left's focus should be during what is shaping up to be one of the most tumultuous electoral seasons in American history. AOC, Bernie, and almost all progressive electeds threw their support behind Biden even as the general public overwhelmingly lost confidence in him -- and for what? Kshama breaks down AOC's late night IG monologue justifying support for Biden, reviews the evidence for why the Squad's "insider" strategy has proven ineffective, and offers a clear vision for how the left can advance our goals in this unique moment.
