After Briahna and Vaush met on the set of Rising last week, Briahna decided to reach out to Vaush and invite him to discuss a number of critiques he's leveled against her over the years. The two have a substantially good faith -- if at times fiery -- conversation about whether Briahna enables fascists by acknowledging when conservatives occasionally have a good point, the merits of Marjorie Taylor Greene's push to abolish the FBI, Vaush's defense of "vote blue no matter who" as a strategy, and more. This is part one of a three hour interview. Part two, largely focusing on Force the Vote, will air on Monday at patreon.com/badfaithpodcast. Don't miss it.

Vaush really came across like an intellectual lightweight, holy shit.

This guy could not be more smug. He has nothing substantive to add or bring to the left movement, he just wants to dunk on them while claiming to be part of the left. He has no substantive criticisms of BJG - he intentionally misconstrues her positions to undermine her.

Vaush sure said some words.

I’ve heard so many people refer to this guy as some kind of thought leader but he seems a complete troll.

Referring to anyone as “subhuman” is frankly, fascist, or at least fascist-leaning.

Lol lmao Vaush sounds like a smug condescending asshole just saying “hi pleasure to be here,” that has to be some kind of achievement

Holy shit if this guy walked up to me at a party, all my hair would stand on end like one of those Halloween cats

Bri did good pressing him on his persistence on characterizing Republicans (including just the voters since he never clarified his differentiation as Bri did) as “Nazis” or “fascists” but she should have followed the line of her argument further because it is low key holocaust-denialism to compare anything bad to Nazism and it’s such a political hack because everyone agrees rhetorically that Nazis are bad and comparing something to nazism can only score rhetorical points. Not to mention the right uses these same rhetorical tactics to call everything it doesn’t like “fascist” from covid restrictions to taxes, anything the state does that it doesn’t like. So is he then enabling the right by legitimizing these same rhetorical hacks by playing fast and loose with “fascism” and “nazi” discourse?
