Presidential candidate Dr. Cornel West returns to Bad Faith to talk about his choice to leave the Green Party and whether it’s really the best strategic option. He then weighs in on the latest violence in Israel/Palestine and the controversies around the left’s response. What does he make of the joint letter of Harvard student groups in response to Hamas’ attack? How does one acknowledge grief and compassion at the murder of Israeli civilians, without validating media narratives that exclusively value Israeli lives without acknowledging the ongoing occupation of Palestinians? It’s the kind of tough, empathic, important conversation we’ve come to expect from Dr. West.

Briahna speaks with writer and professor Norman Finkelstein about the latest scandal involving famed “anti-racism” advocate Ibram X Kendi. Financial mismanagement at BU is just the tip of the iceberg as Finkelstein applies his close reading of Kendi’s work to the current crisis. As interesting as “what’s going on” is the question of how did Kendi even get to a place where he was considered a leading scholar? Does his scholarship have anything to offer? And is “Wokeness” at the root of this?

Does voting third party support the growth of an opponent to the corporate duopoly? Or do the possible gains -- stronger third parties, a boost for ranked choice voting -- not outweigh the costs of helping Trump to get reelected? This discussion went on for over 90 min. You can find the first hour here for free. Subscribe at patreon.com/badfaithpodcast to for the entire debate. We go strong until the end: you wont want to miss it.
