NY Representative Ritchie Torres has a new challenger: Bronx-based teacher and member of the Party for Socialism & Liberation, Andre Easton, joins Bad Faith to talk about his choice to run outside of the Democratic Party, and how Zohran's latest campaign moves, including retaining police commissioner Jessica Tisch, might illustrate the risks of running within the duopoly. Is it possible to be in solidarity for Palestinian liberation while allying with liberal Zionists? As Andre asks, is the left fighting to get a good guy elected in a bad system? Or are we fighting for a system that doesn't tolerate 'bad guys' to exist within it? What does "success" look like to an outsider insurgent campaign, and how can a leftist like Andre compete without the public financing and rank choice voting dynamics that benefited Mamdani?
