What's Left? 2024 - FULL VIDEO

An all star panel of left leaders -- Kshama Sawant, Imani Oakley, & Shahid Buttar -- discuss 2024 and the state of the left. The Freedom Caucus validated the efficacy of Force The Vote just weeks after the Democratic Party consigned crushing a rail road strike, and now some of the few consistent left voices remaining are looking forward to 2024 and having a serious conversation about what's next. No prevaricating. No doomsdaying. No punting to abstractions. Kshama Sawant also explains why she's leaving the Seattle City Counsel after a decade.

You know, if Marianne were to do what the screamers wanted and run as an independent from the get-go, they'd still call and yell at you because you're the only one that would be talking about her!

All the best as Marianne is a Zionist warmonger who wants to keep sending weapons and billions of dollars to Ukraine...so the less talking about her, the better

Great episode! In general, I've been really struggling to listen to Bad Faith because I share Brie's frustration that the conversation is always the same: "progressive" Dems are *hopeless* (or whatever you want to call it) so what to do? Let's stop pretending. The answer is right in front of us: we should not give another ounce of energy to the Democrats and their Fraud Squad. All energy should be on running and supporting independent socialists like Bernie and Sawant. Brie realizes she has boxed the show into this repetitive, frankly boring discourse about people who don't give a crap. She feels it, she even says it, and we hear it. Maybe it is to keep some Dem-allied listeners, but continuing to give these disgraceful "progressive" politicians time of day is a problem. They won't even come on the show! The clear conclusion of all these conversations (years of them now) is that 100% of energy should be spent on independents and organizing. I would also like to hear from folks overseas who have successfully done this. Look at the Greens and Teals successes in Australia—despite the relentless attacks of the Murdoch press. I realize it's very different in some ways (e.g. ranked-choice voting), but the last election decimated the ruling right-wing coalition into a rump party, and put the center-left part on notice, since their wins were dependent on Green ranked choices. Brie knows the problems with the show, and I'm confident she is more than smart enough to find a way through this.

For your own mental health, stop using Marianne as an example ✌🏽 You ruin my evening when you freak out at people not liking her in call-in.

The part where Amani just refers back to her point from before instead of responding to your question was hard to watch....

I think we need a genuine anti-war progressive candidate to run for president. Marianne Williamson is not that person.

I did not know about MLK tirade against moderates and how supposed allies are the more dangerous members of the establishment... Really relevant and key to understand

Can you share a link of a good story on Greens and Teals?

of the proxy war in Ukraine

If leftism is anti-capitalist, anti-militarist, anti-imperialist, that the “Squad” and Marianne Williamson continue to support sending billions to fund the US proxy war is disqualifying for all of them. robertorwellhand.substack.com

Very interesting and informative conversation! It is refreshing to see people who walk their talk and actually live according to the convictions and ideals they profess.
