I think she could do better than that.

The Senate is a good gig, it can be a lot easier to get foreign policy experience there than as a Governor.

I love the fact that he's making fun of her for NOT having an elitist background. What trash.

Whenever I'm arguing with someone about TACO I just point out that what we really needed was another rich, old, white man. That'll fix our problems.

Sure, but not executive experience.

If you look at most successful candidates for president they were either governors or generals (or lately CEOs). You can guess what the attacks against AOC are going to be. One will certainly be that she doesn't have the experience, especially as a key decision maker. Personally, I think she'd be a fine president right now. But, to convince enough other people I think she'll need to prove to them that she knows what she's doing at the "big desk".

Not just rich, born rich.

If someone worked themselves to death 80hrs/week to build a fortune, forgoing family or personal development. That might not be "healthy" but at least we could all point at their work ethic and tenacity as something worthwhile.

But this fuck was just born into it. Never had to work a day in his life, just living off daddies dime.

TBH I don't think any republican anywhere is qualified for any sort of leadership role of any kind.

And some of the hardest, lowest paid jobs I've ever worked.

Seriously, commerical kitchens can suck.

Nope, brilliant businessmen who possess street smarts and acumen.

Obviously we should cut their taxes and deregulate them a little more.

I bet he feels slammed

He's right. I'd rather vote for some PedoCon to represent me, than a smart, moral person who has actually held a real job. /S

GTF Outta here with that shit.

Obama was never a Governor. JFK was never a Governor. It is very possible to win the Presidency as a sitting Senator.

I think she would make a fine President now, but a better one with two Senate terms under her belt.

Every time they mock her for having had a working class job they just prove they think they’re elite.

As a hard working BoH worker, fuck off with this.

Nepo baby say "what", Bob?

months years

Those are 2 exceptions out of how many?

The hours are brutal. Working 12+ hour shifts with the bulk of the labor happening at the tail end.

Then you're dealing with other people's droll and piss and blood. Managing angry drunks, happy drunks, and piss drunks. Tracking orders, periodically against people who want to cheat or rob you. Scouting for underaged drinkers, dealing with sex pests, and still politely catering to the whims of the bulk of your clientele.

I don't envy bar work even slightly. Crazy to think it's "easy", unless you're already four drinks in. At which point, you're one of the people making the job more difficult.

many behaviors, traits, characteristics that lead them to ’conservativism’ should preclude them from being public servants

I don't even know how they thought this was a dunk. Did they really expect us to say something like "I can't believe AOC worked as a bartender one point in her life! I would never elect a bartender!"

They really think that the country is THAT STUPID. Which is just sad since they'll probably be half right. Everyday I become more and more ashamed of my country so we'll see...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_previous_experience

20 former Govenors. (Although only 17 were State Governors. 2 were Territorial Governors and 1 was a Military Governor)

18 former Senators. One was a Senator after being President. Maybe this can be AOC's path.

32 with prior military experience.

Only one with no prior military or government experience. (Guess Who?)

How much could one banana cost?

congressperson used to work a shitty job

Republicans: "Unqualified"

congressperson come from rich family

Republicans: "OMG ITS THE ELITES, dRaIn tHe sWaMp!"

🙄

Yeah but someone mentioned it was Kamala Harris' birthday and he had nothing disparaging to say. Just wished her a happy birthday. Again, likely the dementia flared up and he couldn't remember who Kamala Harris was.

elitism

Pedofilelitism

Is She being Discriminated against because she comes from a lower socio economic environment or just because she was a bar tender?

Give it a couple of months. They'll be dunking on AOC for not being a pedophile next. How can you be qualified for public office if you never went to the island? To a fascist, anything which denotes "them" is an acceptable insult.

Cook that fraud AOC.

Yes

If we were to take the top 1% of peoples wealth in the US alone and redistribute it to everyone in the US. Everyone would receive enough to buy a house outright. So we either have a few rich parasites that control everything and ruin peoples lives for numbers on a spreadsheet, or everyone gets a house.

Did he last an hour even? I thought he handed out a couple drivethrough orders to Trump donors and then marveled at the fryolator.

They’re scared of her and the younger, more progressive wing because they’re generally a LOT harder to win against than the typical milquetoast establishment/status-quo boomer Democratic candidates, by simple virtue of the fact that they tend to be way better at their jobs, and way more responsive to their constituents.

Yeah, truth nuke
