Summary
2024 Presidential candidate Jill Stein returns to Bad Faith to respond to Dr. West saying during his last appearance on the show that he had lost all respect for Dr. Stein, and that she is "addicted" to running for office. The candidate also discusses her recent arrest at a campus protest, new developments in Gaza, including the invasion of Rafah and Biden's disappearing "red line”; and how the Green Party plans to be competitive in 2024 against the two major parties and the well-funded RFK Jr. campaign. Dr. Stein also talks ballot access, consolidating the left vote, Dr. West's criticism of the Green Party's racial platform, and more.
