    Episode 601: Woke 1 vs "The Catharsis of Winning" (w/ F.D. Signifier)

    Prolific video essayist FD Signifier returns to Bad Faith Pod for a comprehensive analysis of the controversy surrounding left electeds' abandonment of 2020 era policy commitments and principles coined "Woke 1" by New York City Council member Chi Ossé, and made viral by AOC on the Sunday news last weekend. While members of the Platner left have argued that rejecting "woke one" simply means abandoning the excesses of cancel culture and identitarian jargon like "Latinx," several DSA candidates or electeds, from Francesca Hong and William Lawrence to AOC and Zohran Mamdani himself, have explicitly rejected firm BLM-era policy commitments like defund the police. And some, like Lawrence and AOC, even explicitly rejected their DSA affiliation in part or in whole. This brings a question we've been asking for about a year now front and center: Is it worth it to "win" if you have to sacrifice your principles to get there? If Zohran can do such a 180 on defund, how much confidence do we have with respect to his solidarity with Palestine? Why call yourself "socialist" if you're unwilling to stand behind the DSA platform, or if you're going to become an NPYD booster? And how did the left media ecosystem let this happen? Does "winning" within the Democratic party, in fact, help the left? Find Bad Faith on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts. Or subscribe to our RSS feed.

    Promo: Episode 598 - What's the Deal With ADOS? (w/ Yvette Carnell)

    As progressives candidates have made electoral gains across the country over the past few weeks, Democrats are once again attempting to discredit the left by pointing to a poor showing with Black voters. For example, attempts have been made to ding Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed with this charge, even as polls show Black voters prefer him to his opponent, and the old "Bernie Bro" smear has even been trotted back out by Maine's Susan Collins . Jim Clyburn went viral for insinuating that Black electeds are justified in selling out because it's harder to fundraise from disproportionately low income Black voter bases, while Cori Bush is facing heaps of AIPAC-funded opposition laundered through a Black political opponent. Meanwhile, factions of the establishment-left are abandoning BLM-era causes like "Defund" in the name of "pragmatism" -- saying these issues hurt prospective DSA electeds. So what's the future of the Black left? I asked Yvette Carnell, co-founder of the ADOS movement -- African Descendants of American Slavery, to join Bad Faith to discuss what ADOS is and isn't, and whether there are opportunities for political allyship between ADOS and the Green Party, given both support reparations, single-payer healthcare, and other policies that corporate Democrats reject. Is it too factional to be part of a broad left movement? Or would the left benefit from diversifying it's tent? Find Bad Faith on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.

    Episode 597 - What is the DSA For? (w/ Megan Romer)

    DSA co-chair Maggie Romer joins Bad Faith in the wake of her viral Fox News appearance in which she was asked about DSA platform planks like abolishing the Senate, abolishing ICE, defunding the Pentagon, and prison abolition. Predictably, the right wing dragged the clip, but so did many on the "socialist left" who are, apparently, ashamed of the DSA platform voted on by its members. I ask Romer the questions I had for fellow DSAer Dan Denvir: What are the goals of the DSA, and are those goals frustrated by a slate of electeds who frequently put distance between themselves and the DSA platform, or between themselves and socialism entirely? Is DSA's function to gate keep the progressive movement and sheepdog voters who are frustrated with the duopoly back into the duopoly? Will the DSA discipline elected members who undermine the DSA's principles? Should the DSA embrace Democratic centralism? Will it support third party candidates, or is DSA a "clique" that wears red on Wednesdays -- no Greens allowed? Find Bad Faith on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.
