AOC's former chief of staff, tech millionaire, & Justice Democrats co-founder Saikat Chakrabarti joins Bad Faith to explain why he's running to oust Nancy Pelosi from the San Francisco congressional seat she's held for almost as long as he's been alive. He offers his take aways from Zohran Mamdani's success, and evaluates the replicability of Zohran's approach when it comes to social media, his strategy "toxic positivity," and his army of volunteers. Saikat also addresses concerns from the left that he is not a DSA candidate and has, in fact, donated to opponents of DSA candidates in the past. Can Saikat do what Bad Faith guest Shahid Buttar didn't quite manage? Will Pelosi similarly ignore Saikat? Or can he capitalize on normie Democrat frustration with an establishment that's all talk, no action, when it comes to fighting back against Trump?
