BFT Podcast: The Leader Of The Fight Caucus Is Here

JB Pritzker gets it

Probably I'm not alone among idealistic millennials in saying I never thought I'd be downright titillated by the prospect of a billionaire running for president.

Well, we can only be so precious about these youthful principles as we slide further and further into autocracy. So it goes. Today's Bad Faith Times podcast is about Illinois Governor JB Pritzker – one of the 1,000 richest people alive – emerging as the leader of what we might call the Fight Caucus, pro-democracy elected officials who speak clearly and forcefully about the Trump regime's attacks on representative government, and who chastises Democrats who have adopted a business-as-usual approach to the most acute crisis in American history.

Pritzker needs to be a household name, and soon. Folks need to see and hear him, a fearless politician who doesn't just talk the walk, but walks the fucking walk. Check out today's podcast and be sure to subscribe to the BFT newsletter and become a part of the BFT discord community, full of decent folks who – like you – are trying not to doom their way through this political hellscape.

Below is the video pod along with the audio-only pod, if that's your thing.
