Bad Faith: Should the Left PRIMARY Joe Biden? w/ Chris Hedges & Kshama Sawant
Is it time for a 3rd party challenger in 2024? Last week, Politico reported that several major progressive voices are confident that there will be a left challenger to Joe Biden. Jeff Weaver, Bernie’s 2016 campaign manager, said it’s a given, and names like Nina Turner and Marianne Williamson have been floated as possible candidates. However, much of the left is still skeptical of “dum dum” third party runs — even as efforts like The Movement for a People’s Party and the Andrew Yang’s Forward Party reflect a growing interest in electoral alternatives outside of the two party system. This week, Briahna Joy Gray spoke to two committed leftists who aren’t so skeptical of the value of third parties — Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges and Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant — about what a third party run could look like, and why so much of the left remains hostile to having a serious conversation about electoralism alongside labor organizing efforts. Kshama also explains how she was able to defeat the Amazon-backed recall effort against her, and what it will take for the left to win at the federal level.
