Comment by Drusas@kbin.social on How about that?

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.

Wait what happened? I saw the vaping but what else did she do

She was caught on camera fondling a guy in the theater. It probably would have gone unnoticed if she hadn’t called attention to herself by disrupting the show, vaping, and then denying that she was vaping.

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.

You don’t thing wanking people off in front of kids is a wee bit more than “problematic”?

I listed the problems in order. Why are you using quotations around words I didn’t even use?

Ok then, you don’t think wanking someone off in from of kids isn’t a bit more than “icky”?

TIL that an over the pants handjob is PDA.

I mean, it’s not not PDA lol

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.

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.

Correct. 1,000 people from a very specific region of a state are not representative of “the people” of that state.

320k people voted.

1000 is quite the hyperbole.

And yet, their actual representation is giving everyone fits. Do you want to get rid of Boebert or not? You can double down on your statement but you won’t accomplish anything besides putting me in my place. The people of this region still vote and the way our government is set up means large cities don’t get to dictate everything. If that were the case NY and LA would be ruling Denver and they could claim to be the “real people” of the U.S.

Also, where are you getting the number 1,000? That is no where close to the number of people in her district, which is also geographically fairly large (yes, because of the lack of population density). You can be just as dismissive towards everything I’m saying if you don’t like it, but for those of you who have an interest in how Boebert and those of her ilk end up in government, I’m trying to give some insight into her district. Maybe it will be helpful to someone who cares.

Quite the opposite. Pockets of people from nowhere have outsized control over our federal government. This isn’t a constitutional issue either, but an agreement Congress made to stop apportionment.

We broke our government and we should fix it.

Lol, right. The main problem is the people who voted for her. Definitely worse than giving a handy in a theater full of children. /s

Like there weren’t warning signs before? She was even re-elected. Colorado is getting what they asked for with this idiot, and yeah, I kind of feel like they deserve it. The most foolish are the ones that didn’t even vote. I hate bad politicians, but if she betrayed your expectations you’re just not even remotely paying attention. Voters need to bear some of the responsibility for their own mistakes.

Most people have been a little frisky with their date in a movie theater. It’s what teenagers do when there’s nowhere else to go.

But shes a grown ass woman, cant take it to the hotel

True, but I mean…I’m not going to throw stones when I’ve done similar.

You pulled down a grown woman’s dress in a theater, while vaping after being asked not to, let her give you an over the pants handie, while she sings loudly and waves her arms around, in front of kids?

All of this as a silly teenager? Stones ready, big boy.

Yes exactly. That’s exactly what I said I did. Word for word.

Can I get a video? Just for research… gross research. We’ve all probably acted a fool when younger but as an adult in a mixed environment you shouldn’t need to told to keep tits covered and not to touch genitals. That’s how you end up on a list.

Definitely good behavior for a congresswoman who makes “ALL T PEOPLE ARE PEDOPHILES AND GROOMERS” her rallying cry.
