This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, as Democrats prepare for their state assemblies you can bet a bunch of lawyers are preparing legal briefs in case their candidates don’t make the ballot through the most straightforwardly indefensible and undemocratic system of nominating candidates we can think of. Abolish the caucus and assembly process! Then, for Donald Trump and his friends: Mail Ballots. For the rest of us: Long lines in November weather with no water or pizza. The Colorado budget is fucked, again, as lawmakers stare down the barrel of another $1.5 billion dollar hole thanks to conservative pressure groups and Donald Trump sucking at being President. But if you don’t want to blame the people responsible for this, you can just blame Joe Biden. Everyone’s doing it! And finally, Colorado Republicans remain silly and our 6th favorite member of Congress from Colorado decides once again that facts are dumb.
