Summary

Princeton Professor of African American studies Eddie Glaude Jr. returns to Bad Faith to discuss what he told students at historically Black Morehouse College in advance of Biden's commencement address, why he's now ambivalent about his 2016 openness to voting third party in deep red and deep blue states, how to break free of the "vote blue no matter who" mindset, Cornel West and political pragmatism, and more. One of Briahna's all-time favorite guests remains one of her favorite interlocutors in this, his second appearance.
