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? Find Bad Faith on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.

Writer, pundit, & host of the Left Hook podcast Wajahat Ali joins Bad Faith to weigh in on Abdul El-Sayed campaigning with Kamala Harris, Mamdani's capitulations to the Zionist establishment, and whether the left is pulling the center left or whether they're slowly getting absorbed and disciplined. Hot off an interview with Joy Reid in which she disavows vote blue no matter who, Ali and Gray discuss whether that commitment will hold in the context of a 2028 general election when a "greater evil" is on the ballot. Finally, the two dig into the central premise of the harm reduction argument and debate whether it actually does what it purports to do.

Philosopher & intellectual historian Émile Torres returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on the intellectual and cultural movement that motivates the big tech billionaires who are threatening to end the world with artificial intelligence. What is transhumanism, what do these CEOs really mean by "human extinction," what does the future look like once the brains are uploaded to the cloud, and if and when that happens, what will it mean to be alive?
