There are so many things disturbing about her, but again - the bigger problems are that people actually elected her and her fellow Reps have not stood up to her. We have too many morons, cowards, and bullies running around unsupervised.
The bigger problem is that they're sort of being supervised. These people aren't so rare as exceptions go, and not necessarily even exceptions in some places.

Lauren Boebert is cut from that same slime mold - as if a modern day Dr. Frankenstein is shooting out these absurd clones in various sizes and shapes - blonds and brunettes. Dumberer and Dumbererer.

You know how when we criticize Yasser Arafat because we know he could say one word and end all terrorism in the Gaza strip? Same thing going on here - just one word from any of the current batch of traitors - Trump, Hawley, Cruz, Bobo the clown, WMD the clown - and all this silliness would end. But they would immediately be eaten alive by their insane followers. It's kind of a hostage situation. They can't say what they want to say even if they wanted to. I don't think they would die but they would effectively be ending the career path of their choice.

Biden is impressing me so far. Loads of work to do and in a time when the legislature doesn't seem interested in legislating he's got his office back to being a force for good (on average) despite some serious long term dangers I'd like to see addressed. A fair few things need to be moved yet and things can change fast but he's obviously willing to be guided by advisors that know better than him and it's very much to his credit.

On the whole I am not able to come up with a whole lot of policy
proposals or more accurately, executive orders that he hasn’t addressed
with sufficient strength. Can anyone really complain much that a more
progressive candidate would be doing much more?

I wish I could share your confidence. Golfy McBonespurs perhaps. Agree that any
of the rest of them would probably want to purchase personal and
family security if they were to turn on the seditionists.

This is the monster that folks like Hawley and McCarthey enthusiastically created when it was for their own benefit. They'll turn over and over and over again when they think it's to their personal benefit. They've made their bed, and sure as bleep, they'll end up peeing in it. There's no Liz Cheney there other than... Liz Cheney.

Bernie Sanders apparently exhibited white privilege by the way he dressed at the Inauguration. https://news.yahoo.com/did-bernie-sanders-inauguration-outfit-epitomize-white-privilege-a-san-francisco-teacher-thinks-so-204425621.html

TJHSST changes admission policies in a way that sees Asian Americans as "white adjacent." http://www.fairfaxtimes.com/articles/admission-issues-at-thomas-jefferson-high-school-for-science-and-technology/article_e283c392-3b02-11eb-b6ed-eb2fd613f8d1.html

Biden needs to go big and just the Senate/House needs to get this together as fast as possible.

Quit waiting for GOP support.

^I agree with this. Trying to compromise on this is just a waste of time.
