Comedian, actor, & influencer Amanda Seales joins Bad Faith to reflect on the canonization of Charlie Kirk, her viral Jubilee debate video (who says the left is unwilling to debate?), being canceled by Hollywood for speaking out about Palestine and the failures of the Democratic Party, her IRL confrontation with Kamala Harris, staying sane in the public eye, and so much more. It's an intimate, funny, broad conversation with one of the internet's most engaging political personalities.
