Revolutionary Blackout Network co-founder Nick Cruse returns to Bad Faith to break down the liberal media meltdown over tepid efforts to push the party left. Not only are establishment politicians and commentators quick to decry the "message" of the AOC/Bernie rallies, David Hogg's efforts to primary old guard Democrats have been met with threats to oust him as DNC vice chair. Even James Carville is insisting that progressives leave the party. Broken clock-style, is Carville right? Also, Joe Biden joins The View and doubles down on his fitness to run while throwing Kamala under the bus, and Elizabeth Warren humiliates herself by refusing to admit that Biden hasn't been mentally fit since Rogue One was in theaters. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders repeats Zionist propaganda on the Senate floor. Is this a party that can be saved?
