Bad Faith - Episode 522 – "What's Right & What's Left?" (w/ Andre Easton)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

NY Rep. Ritchie Torres has a new challenger: Bronx-based teacher and member of the Party for Socialism & Liberation Andre Easton, who joins Bad Faith to talk about his decision to run outside of the Democratic Party and how Zohran's latest campaign moves -- such as retaining NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch -- might illustrate the risks of running within the duopoly. Is it possible to be in solidarity with Palestinian liberation while allying with liberal Zionists? As Andre asks, is the left fighting to get a good guy elected in a bad system? Or are we fighting for a system that doesn't tolerate "bad guys" to exist within it? What does "success" look like to an outsider insurgent campaign, and how can a leftist like Andre compete without the public financing and rank choice voting dynamics that benefited Mamdani?

Consider This from NPR - Unpacking The U.S. Economy’s ‘Cockroach’ Problem

When companies need a loan, traditionally they turn to a bank.


But increasingly they’re turning to financial firms that are not really banks, but do have a lot of cash. This is called the “private credit” market. It has exploded in the past 15 years. It’s now valued at around $2 trillion.

Natasha Sarin, president of the Yale Budget Lab and former Biden administration official, argues that these private credit firms are making risky loans. So risky, that they’ve got her thinking about the 2008 financial crisis.
