Comedian and podcaster Jake Flores joins Bad Faith along with Institute for Middle Eastern Understanding communications director Hamid Bendaas for a deep dive on the article, whether the trajectory of one of the left's most popular podcasts is reflective of the broader despondency on the left, and whether the pod has the power to help course correct the left back toward the optimism of the Bernie years. Hamid brings important IMEU stats showing the effect of the Gaza genocide on electoral outcomes, and the pair assess the liberal blame game which seeks to put the onus on everything except for the Democrats' own failures -- including the "dirtbag left."
