Not her, the concept. We all know boebert is a piece of shit. Welfare is an extremely important and necessary function of our society, and it does us no good to shit on it. We can contrast crockett and boebert on their merits, not their backgrounds.

For the people we want running our country, they should be smarter than we are, no?

Given the state of education, I'm not convinced that a high school education is automatically a sign of intelligence.

Agreed. Though, I’d also point out that the spirit of that meme is a comparison, as opposed to an attack. Before you dismiss Jasmine for being black and having a less traditional name, check her qualifications.

I'm not dismissing her for any reason. She is clearly a better person. I would have had the same reaction no matter whom the two people in the graphic were.

No no, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to imply YOU were dismissing her! I meant the reader the meme was targeted to. Which is why that imaginary reader, would never read it, or be moved by it. So it preaches to the choir, and comes off as condescending to some.

I went to work everyday so Boeberts mom didn't have to.

And that by itself is no reason to shit on her or her mom. Her, as an adult, turning her back on those systems and the people who need them *is*. Class solidarity is the only way forward. Whinging about social safety nets is a right wing ideal, not a left wing one.
