I’ve been saying the barriers to get into politics are too fucken high for a decade. And just about everything that has happened in that time has made it worse.
Doesn’t she also claim to be a millionaire? Education isn’t the only barrier to entry. Financials and family connections likely play a bigger role. If I’m living paycheck to paycheck I can’t stop working to go campaign. I also just can’t walk into my local political party office and demand to be put on a ballot for something out of the blue.
Her most recent disclosure, filed on Aug. 13, 2022, lists seven assets worth $1,001 to $15,000 and five worth $1,000 or less. Even if each asset was at the high end of that range, that totals just over $100,000.
Her previous work experience was as an Assistant Manager at a McDonald’s.
Because she was a useful idiot for moneyed interests with nothing better to do than hit fundraiser meetings, so the PhD educated social worker with fifty clients never had a chance. Like, what you’re saying is true, but what they’re saying about barriers being too high is also very much true.
But she would never win a Democrat ticket. Democrats only elect perfect people. Perfect people don’t exist. So democrats only elect people who pretend they’re perfect.

Too high?? Lauren Boebert dropped out of high school. She passed her GED in her 30s, right before she won her first election.

Also how much blackmail exists on you.
Also how much of a useful idiot are you.
Etc
Boebert is not a millionaire.
Or possibly an assistant to the manager.

Basically if you’re willing to kiss the right rings, the barrier is not too high.
If you intend to be a populist and serve the broad interests of most of your constituents, the barrier to entry is sky high.

I hope she would never win a Democratic ticket. She’s awful!
I agree. I was more using her to make a point. I think a better example would be Howard Dean or Al Franken.
