Princeton Professor and Civil War-era historian Matt Karp returns to Bad Faith to discuss how a third party won the White House by fighting for the ethical issue of the time: Slavery. How did Republicans break the duopoly to become a major party, and what lessons can the contemporary left learn from a historical example of a successful American third party? Also, Matt and Brie discuss the 2024 election, the post-Bernie moment, and what's next for the left.
