Episode 612 - Can We Stop the Co-opt? (W/ Ajamu Baraka)

Human rights activist, director of the Black Alliance for Peace North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights, and Green Party 2020 VP candidate Ajamu Baraka returns to Bad Faith to discuss Mamdani's controversial new anti-Semitism funding, his characterization of socialism on the Theo Vonn podcast, & Abdul El-Sayed's defense of capitalism on Higher Learning. Are these left electeds helping the movement by normalizing left politics, or are they evidence of how the left is being co-opted before our very eyes? Also, at what point is the left going to be able to articulate a vision for change as coherent as the electoralists' strategy?
