I’m not huge AOC fan but comparing Boebert to educated humans is offensive.
I’s way more fair to compare Boebert to helmints, in this case she will lose by a margin we can easily asses.
When I was young and stupid, I dropped out of school. I did get my GED on the first try though. Bartending and going to college is one hell of an education. And maga has the gall to call AOC an idiot.
That is awesome, congrats! I was too cool for school my self after HS, but went back to college while working a shit job full-time and earned my degree. That is pulling yourself up, well dad did help and I had to pay him back, but at least he didn't charge interest.
You do have an excellent point here. Boebert was "my" rep there for a while, which was terrible - and someone gently reminded me that we all want more working class folks in politics, and then when we get them (like her) we're very upset. I remained mad, but probed around at my class consciousness..
Boebert (and other MAGA politicians) don't understand how our government works. She doesn't understand the laws. People applying to become citizens must pass a test with questions about our government, history, civil rights... that she could not answer. You don't hire a baker who can't bake...
Yes; one is white trash. Perfect fit in the land of misfits…..for so many reasons including she’s slapping uglies with Skid Rock.🤮No moral compass for either one.
AOC vs Bimbo BoBo. Summed up:
"In the world of MAGA, stupidity is a badge of honor for both sexes, but the heads of women need to be thoroughly empty.
She's contemptuous of people who actually know what they're talking about, especially if those facts-laden human beings are fellow women." - Salon
NOT THAT I FEEL SORRY FOR HER, but Boebert is a product of a crappy, unstable childhood, whose mom was a pro-wrestling groupie. Not good...
BUT I've heard her speak during hearings and although she's COLOSSALLY ignorant and misguided, she's not dumb.
She uses her wits for connivance and survival.
I'm not gonna shame teen pregnancy because things happen and GEDs aren't shameful but for a politician, there should be some kind of standard for sure. 4x is so excessive...
What does this say about the voters who elected Boebert? Elected her repeatedly. Even when she had to switch districts on account of redistricting. The problem is bigger than how ignorant she is.
DEI? The only thing wrong with DEI is allowing incompetence to compete with competence because the Republican Party NEEDS to install women and people of color (POC) somewhere to "prove" they aren't racist or sexist.
Can someone tell me that Clarence Thomas, Boebert or Greene are "the best?
Two Americas and right now the MAGAT is in a majority. Idiocy rules over Decency and America is suffering. How much suffering will wake our country up?
I don’t get that either. When I don’t know something I look to a subject matter expert. Then I trust their intelligence, education and experience. Some people respond to a lack of knowledge by making shit up based on their feelings, guessing, trusting strangers on social media, or asking their god.
No, they don't. These people believe that they're the smart ones, and that they know more than experts with doctorate degrees because they watched a YouTube video. And they want politicians as brilliant as they are.
I mean, 🤷, I'm a card-carrying Mensa Life Member. I don't disagree that it's dumb, I was just observing that it's deeply baked into the American national psyche.
Some people make it to the top with their feet firmly on solid ground, other's do it with their legs up in the air. With all due respect for passing that pesky GED on the 4th try, Colorado has nearly 6 mil people with an 84% graduation rate making over 5 million people verifiably smarter than her.
What the great @charlesppierce said about Lauren Boebert: “My eternal apologies to boxes of rocks, sacks of hair, and bags of hammers. You deserved better.”
Why aren’t there mandatory qualification requirements for Congress? These uneducated, inexperienced, uncouth, dishonest, incompetent minions have NO business making decisions for the citizens of this country! Every job has education or experience requirements. You’d think Congress should too! 🤬🤬🤬
Agree. Also, it would be great if a significantly larger percentage of the eligible voters did some work to choose a good candidate and actively backed them and then voted, rather than complaining passively before, during, and after.
Altho they may be part of the system that suppresses the vote, we shouldn't offer blame as our political stance. We the people have to organize to provide political leadership -- inside and outside the DP, on the local, state, and national level.
I will take the educated one on the left for the win. We need to add educational requirements for all members of congress as well as a background check before they can run because the GQP has too many felons in office.
Unfortunately, academic degrees are not associated only with progressive politics. Plenty of the GOP have advanced degrees and yet they are in thrall (whether sincerely or cynically) to trump and they are committed to harming the American people.
It took her four tries to pass the GED test?!?!? That test is easier than the ACT test or SAT test. I dropped out of school and took the ged and passed it first try. They probably helped her pass it she cheated. Plus her promiscuous ways at the play says she’s some type of monster.
I couldn’t believe this at first till I did a quick google search. Boebert is a monster. I mean I don’t knock anyone trying to get their GED ( I got mine in 1994 because gangs at school gave me problems so I dropped out and a few months later just passed the test first try… test is easy.)
Yeah, fr. My son left in 10th grade because he lost his autism supports during the pandemic, but he passed his GED with flying colors as college ready on the first try. I'd never look down on anyone for getting their GED, but 4 tries? My god, woman...maybe try cracking a book open?
This is messing me up because I slept in school, failed tests and still past my GeD first try. I passed the ACT test with high scores. I messed up bad in school even got left back a year out of sheer laziness and still learned enough to pass a God damn GED test and this bitch is a https://representative.wtf
I don’t know how Boebert is a successful business woman either when her math skills would have to be horrible. I mean as you can see I don’t really know English punctuation or what a prepositional phrase is but damn. What type of ignorant MF do republicans have running this country?!?!
I'm looking forward to Bobert's exit when a real candidate wins. Veteran of 30 years challenging Bobert's seat. Rear Admiral, you get my contribution. Jon Ossoff does, too. These two baggages have to go. MTG out, LB the escort out.
Bob the knob is being challenged by a retired lieutenant Colonel for her seat in 2026. Come on Douglas county pull your head out of your ass and do the right thing.
These aren't reasons to support either. Policy & advocacy is why you should support AOC. How well she performed in college, doesn't matter. There are millions of Americans who didn't go to college that support & would benefit from policies that AOC is proposing. Elitism turns those people off.
You are correct. All is fair in politics, these days & you guys fad a bit of fun. The real truth lies within the huge Christian Cabal that supported the 2025 agenda. It’s as bad as they say.
But worse. They like having stupid head in the White House. They can use him & blame him. Then splat!
Also I don't think attacking pregnant teens instead of attacking the policies that prevent them from having options is a good look. A lot of people in this thread seem very elitist and misogynistic and it's sad that it's like this even among people who support good policies in theory.
Comfortable elitist libs are who enabled fascism. They don't mind cooperating with the fascists on those they view as lesser in society. It's why none of them made a peep as Obama & Biden deported millions of working immigrants & why they stood silent in the face of genocide in Palestine.
It's so big that we are practically insulting AOC by comparing her with that bimbo, who likes to do manual therapy when she goes to the theater, and who probably doesn't even know why the name of her State is "Colorado." What can we think about the people who voted for her?
This is why the Republican Party has gone so downhill, ignorant, dumb, stupid low IQ people are voting in someone the same and those same people are calling us elitists because we went to college good colleges got degrees and are smart
One should not knock someone who tries to better themselves with education, However, Boebert is mentally and morally unable to do the job that a congresswoman is required to do. She would fail both a Civics and an Ethics examination. Both should be mandatory for any office in the country.
He can’t have intelligent people working with him because they would see through his bullshit. They women look like caricatures of women and the men look like they are druggies. 🤷♀️
And Lauren's daughter also got knocked up in high school. I don't want to sound mean but I can understand this happening to you why but then, why wouldn't you make sure your child doesn't go through this too?
I am not calling her a "slut". I am calling her a bad mother cause she knew the hardships that teen motherhood brings and yet did nothing to prevent her daughter from becoming a teen mom too.
The object of putting stupid unqualified sexual barbies in place of qualified, educated women was to make a mockery of our elected officials. See, any dumbass can go to the nation's capital and be a representative of the American people. Oops, it sounds like most of the Congress. Sorry.
It's not that someone must have a degree to be smart. My best friend never got one but read constantly to educate herself. If you think learning can stop at HS, you are missing the point of learning. It's not a box you check. It's a mind that opens to more possibilities.
You can be all the things Boebert is and still be a decent human with positive intentions in the world. The fact that she chooses stupidity and hate is what devalues her.
Too bad her picture is on the left. So.... a leftist, I guess? Making the one on the right.... right? Sigh.... it sucks being so right about so many things being so wrong, on the right. I mean, what's left for us to do? Vote blue. Just vote blue....
Oh Boebert? Literal bastard Boebert? Whose ring rat mother fucked so many Florida wrestlers she had zero clue who the father was and decided to pick the one who was still on TV? Only to spend 30+ years slandering the good name of Stan Lane of the Midnight express?
I'm sorry, but when the literal bastard wants to play "family values", chosing to demonize LGBT people, among others, then her status as a literal bastard, born of a liar, will be pointed out.
The vast majority of pols and pundits are bad faith actors who knowingly spout nonsense so as to foment and exploit ignorance for personal gain. However, there are a few who are, to their credit, sincere in their stupidity. Tuberville and Boebert, for instance, are genuinely dumb. No doubt about it.

Robert Kennedy 😱
He selects those who are loyal to him 🙄
AOC:
One is an amazing activist and politician who stands for justice.
Boebert:
The other one is a grifting loser who ran for office to personally enrich herself.
THIS should be a flashing red light on your future.
I mean, that is kind of the default answer by Far-Right people these days, ain't it? She doesn't have the correct brain-worms to make it in academia
Stop making stupid famous.
Really?
The bar is low. Unbelievably low.
Hence the Fox News Cabinet.

AOC is a bright star 🌟 while Bobo is a 💩.

Don’t people WANT their elected officials to be smart?
Personally I want my Prime Minister and cabinet to be smarter than I am.
It’s stupid to allow the dumbest among you to lead. Even animals are smarter than that
Aoc was a waiter in new York and worked her ass off to become the most beautiful and respected senitor that the USA have had
Also the whole checks and balances of the three branches kinda breaks down when everyone’s like “nahhh let’s just let them cook”
I don’t think we’d have to worry about qualifications if there was a ban on gerrymandering and campaign finance reform.
Boebert is there because big money put her there.
Instead, we have a major party that actively discourages participation.
Americans have been inactive critics too long.
😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
But worse. They like having stupid head in the White House. They can use him & blame him. Then splat!
She interned for Ted Kennedy, while she was in college. She works under Raskin on oversight, and Bernie has taken her under his wing.
Credit where it's due!
(At least that’s what some people say, I don’t know if it’s true.)
Hey, lay off my woman!!
It’s my turn.
MAGA!
Making America G(GG)Again
👊🇺🇸🍆
😂 😂😂 If it wasn’t so damn scary!🤬
Who was not, in fact, the father.
