All the news keeps talking about her vaping as though that’s the main problem here. Maybe don’t engage in sexual activities in public. Like, actual sexual activities such as fondling genitals. Not conservatives’ idea of sexual activities, which involves wearing skirts and makeup.
- imgonnatrythis ( @imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee ) 1•1 year ago
The main problem is that people in Colorado voted for her. Vaping is harmful and it’s a problem for her apparently and could potentially influence others. The pda stuff is icky but more of a social norms issue - so yeah, it’s next on the list. I’m still just utterly repulsed by the main problem though.
- natebluehooves ( @natebluehooves@pawb.social ) 4•1 year ago
You should take a look at her district. She represents an area barely anybody lives in. The people of colorado by and large hate her.
- dilithium_dame ( @dilithium_dame@startrek.website ) 3•1 year ago
Wow, that’s a dismissive statement. So because this district isn’t Denver they don’t count as the people of Colorado? We have a diverse mix of people here–yes some of the stereotypical rednecks, ranchers, and resource extraction jobs, but also artsy types, old hippies, organic farmers, civil service for the public lands, and many members of the local tribes. People have moved here from all over the country (and in some cases the world) with many different experiences and perspectives on life. Lumping them all together as voices that don’t matter doesn’t help anyone.

Am I the only one out of the loop? I don’t recognise anybody in this picture, and I don’t know what happened. All I can see is some guy waving a hand in front of someone with a very nice cleavage.
- Afghaniscran ( @Afghaniscran@feddit.uk ) 66•1 year ago
If you’re not a yank then you probably won’t know but basically one of their republican morons who shouts about trans people being a sexual danger to children and calling them rapists etc was caught having her very nice cleavage fondled in a theatre full of children.

The guy she’s with is a democrat who owns a bar. The bar is lgbtq+ friendly and has hosted a drag show.
- Max_Power ( @MaxPower@feddit.de ) English25•1 year ago
If you do not know who she is – do yourself a favor and do not research it. Unless you are a voter in her district or you are a US citizen, then by all means, do it and make her go away.

Sometime in the past I must have accidentally switched into the stupid dimension, how else can this amount of idiots in politics be explained
They’re in politics as a sock puppet to serve other wealthy people’s interests not because they have great ideas for improving the lives and wellbeing of people.
If you killed political donations, cushy job prospects post politics and the crazy idea that corporations are somehow people deserving of representation it might go a long way to purging these cookers from the system.

- dilithium_dame ( @dilithium_dame@startrek.website ) 10•1 year ago
I don’t know if you want an actual answer but this particular idiot’s opponent was a millionaire whose entire campaign strategy was spamming people with mail pointing out he is not Boebert…so vote for him on that merit? He couldn’t even make any statements on how he would help voters of this district or take a stand on any issues. He’s running again so we’ll see if he has learned anything.
This area (like so many around the country) is struggling. Outside of the die-hard Republicans who are a lost cause, people don’t appreciate a rich outsider talking down to them. The frustrating part is during the Democratic primary there was another candidate who had a great, progressive platform that included healthcare, taxing the rich, environment, etc. He came in last 😭 So Democrats chose the status quo, and their candidate struggled to get people excited to vote FOR him rather than AGAINST Boebert.
I think this is a problem that plagues the Democrats on a national level and isn’t a direct reflection of “stupid” rural voters.
- dilithium_dame ( @dilithium_dame@startrek.website ) 1•1 year ago
I know they won’t read this comment, but I’d really love to hear from the people who down vote! What do you disagree with? I’ve lived all over the U.S. and even overseas, but I haven’t been everywhere in the world so the great thing about a board like this is people with different experiences can share them. I can speak to my own observations but if I’m missing something please tell me!

I saw this show on Broadway and would not classify it as family friendly or aimed at kids. 90s cartoons were more subtle in their cussing and sexual comments. Fantastic show I would recommend again and again.
That does not justify what they did though. She may rock the dress, but take your horny selves home. Classic GOP hypocrisy.

I don’t know, there’s a lot of drag happening in that picture. Breasts don’t just lift themselves like that, and those heels look painful to walk in.

Wouldn’t this fit better in political memes?
Is Lemmy really that big that it honestly matters?
I also think you might be confused about what instance you’re on.
- Sotuanduso ( @Sotuanduso@lemm.ee ) English6•1 year ago
Keeping things in their respective communities does help people filter what they want to see.
I, for one, like to see “haha that’s funny” posts more than “oh look the bad guys are bad” posts, which is why I peruse this community and not political memes.
I’m not trying to minimod and create rules that don’t exist in the community, though. I’m just expressing my opinion. You don’t have to listen.
Also, what does this have to do with instance? Nothing’s stopping you from posting on another instance’s community, right? Federation is nice like that. Or did you mean that lemmy.ml is a political instance? If so, I didn’t know that.
Just scroll past it, its not hard. Lemmy is already struggling with content, we don’t need people feeling some type of way about how it’s posted.
I mentioned instance because they’re from Lemm.ee and the community they are referencing isn’t a relevant thing on the instance where they’re commenting and where this is posted.
- UnverifiedAPK ( @UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
Lemmy is already struggling with content
People not being able to filter their content is just going to cause users to leave, making the issue worse. If I wanted to be bombarded by political virtue signalling I’d just go back to Twitter.
- Piers ( @Piers@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
It is fundamentally a communist instance. The reason people are annoyed at you is that you want a “politics” free experience but rather than make the effort to curate what you expose yourself to you’re just wandering into places and insisting they be what you want.
- Sotuanduso ( @Sotuanduso@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
It’s a shame because this is still the biggest meme community in the fediverse. There have been more non-political memes here in the past 2 hours than the next two general meme communities combined had in the past 12 hours.
- Piers ( @Piers@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
If people who don’t like lemmy.ml’s meme community because it serves lemmy.ml’s community rather than their own personal preferences just hung out at a more generic meme community (like one at lemmy.world or lemm.ee) instead of whinging then that would soon change. You are the architects of your own issues.

What drag queen did this? Or are you just pulling the boogeyman out and showing it here? Drag queens are performers, and they show the same audience respect to other performers they expect during their performances.
