Left Bitches (who are right) Unapologetically outraged that kindness is now controversial. Why is this even a conversation?! Feel like you’re the only one still seeing straight as our piece-of-shit civilization burns to the ground around you? Us too. We’re talking politics without fear, bringing together (sometimes wildly divergent) progressive perspectives and breaking down what’s really happening now with incisive commentary, sharp banter and a healthy helping of righteous indignation. Come get mad with us!

    That horrifying moment you agree with your conservative brother-in-law on Facebook: This is 2020. Erica’s back from the front lines of the #BlockGarcetti protests, where cops got brutal. Makes sense: The LA mayor (and Biden cabinet hopeful) approved the largest LAPD budget ever, during a pandemic and economic dumpster fire. Speaking of, what happens when liberal elites weaponize covid, and why shame won’t cure this virus. From police raids on scientists reporting accurate case numbers to holiday-mall-shopping-superspreaders, is there a light at the end of this tunnel? What’s going on with India’s farmers - and what can we learn from their example about breaking the system? Plus, what fake president’s downfall makes Rania do the shoulder-shimmy, and what homophobe politician got caught scrambling out the window of a massive gay orgy? The Left Bitches are Anissa Naouai, Erica Marable, Rania Khalek, and Amanda Getty. Produced by Gregory Haddock with music by Jonathan Hurley.

    Subscribe on Patreon to get the whole episode and see the video! As mass evictions loom for New Year’s, we gotta ask: Do the Democrats get off on losing? Once again for the people in the back: “The other guy’s an asshole” isn’t a strategy, just ask Native Americans in this state, who voted Trump in a big way. 14.6 million Americans lost health insurance in the covid pandemic, and Biden can’t even say the words Medicare for All. Why the ‘44’ brand isn’t doing Dems any more favors: Stop trying to make ‘Obama’ happen, Gretchen! It’s not going to happen! Hey Chuck Schumer: Whatever happened with that gotta-win NC Senate seat? Sexting is something we all struggle with, after all. Plus how much cash did Uber and Lyft make on California’s Prop 22, which state’s labor laws are next against the wall for Big Rideshare, and why the Biden administration’s happy to see it happen. And special guest Alex Sammon of the American Prospect makes the optimist case for Neera Tanden (lol). And what Biden’s silence on Trump’s latest push for war with Iran could be signaling for foreign policy in 2021. And then there’s BlackRock... Plus find out the Bitches’ picks for Fantasy Fight Club!

    What are the Bitches thankful for on this most genocidal holiday of the year? Not GoFundMe Joe, who’s still panhandling despite being backed by literally 186 billionaires. Never surprised, always infuriated: We’ve got a Who’s Who of Biden’s new, kinder Cabinet of Horrors - one of them’s a wannabe pop star! From a “lightly seasoned Jeff Bezos” to caged kids at the border, to a sleepy ham sandwich with fossil fuel friends to save the planet, to the Girl Boss who helped make extrajudicial drone murder a thing under Obama. Ready for another Rahm-com? Speaking of scams, why Green Capitalism will definitely kill us all (the answer’s in the question!) Plus hot takes on Obama’s book.  We’re ready to get fucked in 2021, with sprinkles. And Greg’s making a funny new noise - but is he staying optimistic?

    Don’t know what to expect from the Biden-Harris administration on foreign policy? We know why, and we have some ideas. Biden’s building up a diverse team of lady hawks to ruin the world! We’re excited for feminist bombs (pumpkin spice scented, with glitter?) Better yet, these are some of the same Obama-era corporateers who gave us the Syria and Libya disasters. Who’s next? And neoliberal games with identity politics designed to make us forget about working class struggle. The Left Bitches are Anissa Naouai, Erica Marable, Rania Khalek and Amanda Getty.

    It’s the inaugural run of LBWAR: Left Bitches (who are right) It’s 2020, it’s harder than ever to tell a Republican from a Nazi, and we watched in horror as the Democrats subverted the will of their people in favor of a corporate centrist to face off against Trump. Again. This as student debt has ballooned beyond a trillion dollars; owning a home or even renting affordably remains an ever-elusive dream; medical extortion continues to cripple and kill the sick; climate change looms, threatening to kill us all, and no one’s talking about it… and that’s just the beginning. Walk with us, talk with us, and find out why we love being called “Left Bitches.” Brought to you by Maffick.
