22:09Now Playing2016 Green Party Vice Presidential candidate Ajamu Baraka returns to Bad Faith podcast to discuss RFK Jr.'s appeal, and the strategic advantages of running as a Dem vs a third party candidate. Is Cornel West hamstringing himself by running outside of the Democratic Party? Is there an advantage to being included in polls during the primary process? Does the #forcethedebate movement help expose the Democratic Party in a way that wouldn't be possible if RFK Jr. & Marianne Williamson were running as third party candidates? Even so, do those candidates lose more than they gain by their association with the Democratic Party? Can you truly run a left campaign "as a Democrat"? And if the answer is no, why? Is the real issue that you can't be adversarial to the Democratic Party as a Democrat, or that no one whose tried has never opted to run in a way that's truly oppositional to the corporate duopoly? I also ask him about the odds Cornel West will win the Green Party nomination, whether there is tension with Howie Hawkins within the party, & more.
