Consumer advocate & 2000 Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader joins Bad Faith to weigh in on the revolving chairs of the Green Party's presidential candidates, the strategic value of Cornel West running as an independent, & how left voters should decide between a hypothetical 2024 match-up between Dr. West and Dr. Jill Stein. Briahna also asks Nader to address recent reporting that he would "help Joe Biden win," how people power can beat AIPAC, and whether he, as perhaps the most prominent Arab-American politician in the US, has been able to connect with Rashida Tlaib since her censure by Congress. Nader also explains the immense value of his print media publication Capital Hill Citizen and why every leftist looking to push left politics forward should pick up a copy.
