The Democratic Party’s Inaction on Voting Rights, With Adam Serwer | The Bakari Sellers Podcast

Bakari is joined by Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer to talk about why he thinks the Democratic Party is betraying Black voters, why the Biden administration has been so slow to pass voting reform measures, and the premise behind his new book, 'The Cruelty Is the Point', which examines Donald Trump’s administration.

His political career did not stop there. In 2014, Sellers won the Democratic nomination for Lt. Governor in South Carolina, and has also worked for United States Congressman James Clyburn and former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. Sellers is the author of The New York Times best-selling book My Vanishing Country: A Memoir, which has been described as part memoir, part historical and cultural analysis – illustrating the lives of America’s forgotten black working-class men and women. He has also expanded his audience with the Bakari Sellers Podcast, a twice-a-week show part of The Ringer Podcast Network that addresses a variety of topics. He is also a prominent political contributor for CNN. #bakarisellers #votingrights #newbook The Democratic Party’s Inaction on Voting Rights, With Adam Serwer | The Bakari Sellers Podcast
