"OK, Bloomberg" - Why Bloomberg is Bad
from The Great Purple State · host Conall & Emerson
In this blurb (a shorter podcast on a topic of interest), Conall and Emerson discuss the presidential candidacy of mega billionaire and former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg. We explain how we think he's trying to buy an election by saturating the airwaves and internet with hundreds of millions in ad buys, alongside doing things like *literally* paying social media influencers to post pro-Bloomberg content. We also note many of his policy positions like his support of the racial profiling of stop-and-frisk while he was Mayor of NYC, along with his opposition to a minimum wage increase and his derision of trans rights, among other things... In short, we make the case for why you shouldn't vote for Bloomberg. NOTE: this podcast was recorded February 21, the day before Bernie's big win in Nevada.
