What are the implications for US imperialism in the region, and what lessons does it hold for American leftists watching our own Democracy crumble? Ajamu lives in Colombia, and has had a personal relationship with VP-elect Francia Marquez since she was a teenager. Ben and Ajamu explain how powerful left movements forced new president Gustavo Petro to select the Afro-Colombian environmental and indigenous rights activist as his VP, and win an historic election.   Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.
