“Unlisted” video: Our Task for 2024 (w/ Nathan J. Robinson) - FULL VIDEO

Current Affairs Magazine founder, author, and famously accurate predictor of the 2016 election Nathan Robinson returns to Bad Faith Podcast to weigh in on 2024, how he predicted John Fetterman's fall, & what he predicts for 2024. Brie and Nathan spar on the issue of political litmus tests, and whether Brie should take the W on Gaza becoming a redline for voters rather than interrogating why it was that witholding votes from Biden was a much more radical proposition back in 2016 or 2020. Bad Faith famously debated Noam Chomsky on the subject of whether the threat of Trump compelled leftists to vote blue no matter who in 2020. Would he change his mind in 2024 in light of the genocide in Gaza?

    I remember this, and Chomsky telling me that it was a small bit of effort to go and vote for brump. That it was worth doing.

    I was a fucking chump for listening.

    I'll be interested to see what the new excuse is now
