Summary

The Abandon Biden movement was created to leverage votes to secure a ceasefire or, alternatively, punish Biden for failing to move on that issue. What does the Abandon Biden movement do now that Biden is no longer on the ticket? Head of communications Ahmad Hudhayfah joins Bad Faith to discuss the movement's attitude to Kamala Harris, its current demands, and what he makes of so many "coconut-pilled" leftists who had formally articulated a commitment to Palestinian rights.

if I just wrote it down and showed it to someone they would say this is definitely a Trump supporter,

no this is someone who supports Joe Biden.
