Academic, author, & ordained minister Michael Eric Dyson joins Bad Faith to debate the merits of voting for Kamala Harris specifically -- and Democrats more broadly -- as increasing numbers of the party membership acknowledge that they require significant reform after their 2024 electoral defeat. Are those claiming that "Bernie would have won" in 2016 and 2020 right? Or is there a case to be made for the more centrist Democratic Party approach -- even now? Rarely is someone with as large a platform as Dr. Dyson willing to join a progressive podcast for a rich debate on progressive strategy, so this one is a real treat.
