I believe that deserves more respect.
And what she did was not a career--she wasn't doing it to advance into anything in the same field and she didn't do it long enough. It appears it was the only job she could get out of college, which should trouble us if she wants to claim to be smart and experienced enough to be President of the United States.
@goat that’s not a career that provides any valuable understanding of business, economics, law, administration, management, on and on and on. Her qualifications are zero
@goat you have to be trolling if you think that equips you to understand the economy, international relations, business, public administration, on and on. And if you watch you’ll recognize she doesn’t understand these things. Deal with Bezos and AI and musk and all that shit. I mean if she’s a candidate literally Sortition would be better. 70 percent of the people in my office building are more qualified
Sortition would be better. We'd have a good shot of having a Congress made up of a majority of non-politicians.@goat you have to be trolling if you think that equips you to understand the economy, international relations, business, public administration, on and on.

And while we’re at it. Why does every ex-Navy SEAL feel the need to run for congress as a Republican now?
I’m okay with a couple Navy SEAL’s, but it’s getting exorbitant.
We glamorize these meatheads too much and they think they can run the country now.
Or put in words they can understand.

@bradstevens I have no doubt a random selection of professionals from any office building in America would do a better job than congress. Zero doubt

@bradstevens it would be far better. You know re AOC that Amazon jobs deal she bungled was a direct result of her not understanding how tax credits work.
@bradstevens I will say one thing about AOC. I do believe she is genuine and a true believer type. She would be a serviceable gadfly replacement for Bernie

The problem is a modern congressman has one job, get reelected. There is zero correlation between that and governance. I made the point earlier, people that want AOC want her because she will fight MAGA. And the inverse is true as to why MAGA wanted Trump.
The problem is simple, outrage sells. Both parties make money on outrage so they turn it up to 12.
@sig you watch. the second she announces the glow up will begin. her daft no little self will all of the sudden be the oracle. no different than the harris glow up
I agree with the hype they will brew up but doesn't mean she isn't sharp. I thought I had responded but either my Joe Biden disease is acting up and i didn't hit reply or it got deleted. The difference is she would run circles around empty vessel Harris. I'd like to see that just for entertainment in 2028 even if I won't vote for either just to demonstrate how idiotic that having Harris as part of that admin plus planting of her as a candidate.

I've been pro-sortition for a while. I'm not alone. I think @arthur-dent and a few others agree.
