The Get More Smarter Podcast - A Weekly Show About Colorado Politics State Sen. Kevin Priola Gets More Smarter
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the 2022 election is nearly here! Get that ballot off your table and into a dropbox! There have been A LOT of debates this cycle, and that’s probably a good thing for democracy; we'll talk about some of them. Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, or someone on her campaign, gets outed as the brains behind one of the most vile and racist twitter accounts in #copolitics; with Election Day around the corner, Ganahl just lets her freak flag fly. The 2020 election was not riddled with fraud, and yet, a large portion of the GOP still believes it -- will they accept the results of an election they'll probably lose? The Colorado Springs Gazette editorial board decides to "well, actually" Adolf Hitler and the Nazis; and we have a new segment that is both informative and (we hope) entertaining. But first...Democratic State Senator Kevin Priola joins us to talk about switching parties from red to blue, what issues he’ll break with his new party on, and why democracy is still worth defending.
