    Common sense? She’s as intelligent as your average bartender, which is what she was when she was picked by the DNC to be pushed up the flagpole.

    She’s as dumb as a doornail. She routinely makes a fool of herself when she’s asking people questions, showing she doesn’t have the faintest clue what she’s talking about.

      Yeah, people that had to work during/after university are inherently idiots, and everyone knows that bartenders are morons that should never aspire to anything greater than cracking beers and making cocktails for actual smart people. /S

        She obviously doesn’t know anything about governing. A degree in international relations and economics is totally useless to governing. And why would she have bothered with an internship with Senator Ted Kennedy when she was going into the House of Representatives‽ Total idiot

          If you think everyone that has degrees is intelligent you clearly haven’t spent much time with many people who have degrees.

          Not to mention that degrees in international relations and economics are fluff degrees. May as well be an arts degree.

          I bet the Republican politicians you think are idiots have degrees.

      Didn’t she defeat the Democratic incumbent to get on the ballot for her seat? Oh that’s right, she defeated the Democratic caucus chair, so hardly “picked by the DNC”.

      Asking questions when you don’t know a thing (AOC) is smarter than pretending you know the thing (the vast majority of old congresspeople, especially in the GOP).

        She’s not asking questions to learn though, she’s asking questions to try and catch people doing the wrong thing in these senate hearing sessions or whatever they’re called. She then frequently gets made to look like an idiot because she’s trying to ask “gotcha” questions without realising that her questions make no sense and/or are based on her incorrect understanding.

      “… average bartender…” ?

      I’m massively intrigued that you believe this construct exists. Where do you socialise; and are outsiders welcome? I’d like to meet a default bar tender, just to see what they’re like.

        Where is your average bartender a dumb useless-degree-having woman who thinks she’s super intelligent? Try any bar around a university in any city.

          Making drinks is fairly easy, dealing with customers is the difficult bit…

          I assume you live somewhere where all further/university education, accommodation and sustenance is provided freely by the state. Lucky you.

          Most of the places I’ve lived you have to pay real actual money to further your formal education and if mommy and daddy can’t financially help their brave little soldier than that brave little soldier would need to get a job. Maybe something in the evening; or the weekend. So it don’t interfere with class time…
