National Spokesperson for the Uncommitted campaign Hudhayfah Ahmad returns to Bad Faith along with independent journalist and founder of votepact.org Sam Husseini to address the recent controversy surrounding Middle East Eye's report that the Uncommitted campaign effectively "committed" itself to a narrow range of political action after it accepted $400,000 from a Democratic Party-aligned PAC with the condition that it could not endorse any candidate outside the Democratic Party. Sam. Housseni makes the case for additional leverage via "vote pacts" -- agreements between Red- and Blue-aligned voters who want to make a principled third party vote to cancel each other out so they can confidently vote their values. Also, what's next for Palestine protests in the Trump era?
