Episode 597 - What is the DSA For? (w/ Megan Romer)
DSA co-chair Maggie Romer joins Bad Faith in the wake of her viral Fox News appearance in which she was asked about DSA platform planks like abolishing the Senate, abolishing ICE, defunding the Pentagon, and prison abolition. Predictably, the right wing dragged the clip, but so did many on the "socialist left" who are, apparently, ashamed of the DSA platform voted on by its members. I ask Romer the questions I had for fellow DSAer Dan Denvir: What are the goals of the DSA, and are those goals frustrated by a slate of electeds who frequently put distance between themselves and the DSA platform, or between themselves and socialism entirely? Is DSA's function to gate keep the progressive movement and sheepdog voters who are frustrated with the duopoly back into the duopoly? Will the DSA discipline elected members who undermine the DSA's principles? Should the DSA embrace Democratic centralism? Will it support third party candidates, or is DSA a "clique" that wears red on Wednesdays -- no Greens allowed? Find Bad Faith on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.

Episode 595 - First They Came for the Communists (w/ Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly)
Associate Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University & author of Black Scare Red Scare: Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States, Charisse Burden-Stelly, returns to Bad Faith to discuss the new 100 page State Department report accusing American leftist groups of being part of a "sustained campaign of subversion" against the United States. This new Red-Scare blacklist names Code Pink, the DSA, Hasan Piker, Ben Cohen, Zohran Mamdani, and even Maxine Waters. What does this mean for left movements, & does the liberal response to these accusations, which is largely to distance "Communism" from Scandinavian-style social democracy, help or hurt the cause of the socialist left? We examine a series of Red-Scare articles, including a viral Atlantic Piece titled "The DSA Is a Parasite," along with clips from Jon Stewart, Abdul El-Sayed, & more.

Episode 593 - There's Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men (w/ Magdalene J. Taylor)
Senior editor at Playboy, Magdalene J. Taylor, returns to Bad Faith to discuss her viral (and somewhat infamous) New York Times essay, "There's Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men." Responding to a trend toward "hetero-pessimism," or a cynical feeling that heterosexual relationships are beyond repair due largely to something 'wrong' with men, she offers a counter argument: There's never been a better time to be straight. Reasonable minds can disagree. You can read her opinion piece here: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/opinion/heteropessimism-straight-dating-love.html Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

Episode 591 - Episode 591- The Great White Cope: Graham Platner & The Establishment Left Who Loved Him (w/ Kshama Sawant)
Former socialist Seattle city council woman Kshama Sawant returns to Bad Faith podcast to break down the fall out from the latest Graham Platner scandal and how the establishment-left media that made him is responding. Should they have supported him in the first place given his unrepentant enthusiasm for war? Did left media figures abandon their responsibility to vet his anti-imperial bonafides? If they had, could they have avoided the embarrassment of defending a man who once said he'd rape a home intruder to demonstrate dominance?

Promo: Episode 590 - Is Tucker Willing to do What the DSA Won't? (w/ Glenn Greenwald)
Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode. Find Bad Faith on Twitter (@badfaithpod) and Instagram (@badfaithpod). Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, founder of The Intercept, and host of System Update, Glenn Greenwald, returns to Bad Faith to discuss the likelihood that Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other disaffected, America-first conservatives are planning to break from the Republican Party to start a new, anti-war third party. Will Tucker do what entryist left orgs like DSA has refused to try? Will he successfully capture the plurality of voters who do want an anti-war party? Would Tucker's party be genuinely imperialist or just anti-Israel? What do we make of his history of China hawkery, or his mea culpas for a history of Islamophobia and support for the Iraq war? Can Tucker be trusted? Do we have a choice? Produced by Armand Aviram. Theme by Nick Thorburn (@nickfromislands).
