Summary

The eponymous host of the Kim Iverson Show joins Bad Faith to break down Thursday's disastrous-for-Democrats debate, RFK Jr.'s response, and what third party opportunities this unique political moment presents for the left. Is this the moment to commit to the Green Party? Or is the only "green" to discuss Biden's golf handicap -- or whether Trump is sub "par?" Is it worth it to vote for RFK Jr. just to break up the duopoly? Or are his views on Gaza too insidious to consider any other upsides? You wont want to miss this spirited debate.
