The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur joins Bad Faith to talk his presidential campaign, where he thinks the left should look next now that it's over, and why the Uncommitted campaign is faring so much better than any single outsider candidate so far. And then, inevitably, we have the Force The Vote conversation that's been three years in the making, as we reflect on our different theories of change going into the 2024 season. You wont want to miss this one. Have we managed to re-unify the left?
