Remember When People Actually Learned A Job Before Trying To Run Everything?

Disagree. I know plenty of bartenders that can do a better job than most of Congress. Of course in their stupidity, leftists elected a bartender that could barely be a bartender, much less a member of Congress.

I mean I’m not a supporter of AOC by any means, and in fact I really dislike her, but the Constitution says nothing about previous professions or time between professions.

I'm aware of what it says in the Constitution about it. All I'm saying is she wasn't elected Speaker or to a leadership position by her peers, thus she is full of sound and fury signifying nothing unless she has more than 3 other members willing to vote with her..

Good point

You're barking up the wrong tree imbecile. I'm not a right winger or neo-confederate at all. No fan of Trump in any form. Basically just saying what Pelosi is about the "squad." Imbecile.

That would be why she's not?

I didn't say she was. Only that she seems to think she has the gravitas, which she does not..

It's one of those things - some people say she does, some people say she doesn't, and it seems to correlate more with what people think of her politics than anything else and that includes you.

Personally, I think she's doing very well at holding the leadership's feet to the fire to snap them out of the complacent reverie they've been enjoying for far too long. But, then again, her politics aligns quite well with mine, so it's not like my assessment can be described as definitive either.

I agree to a point that the Dems and Congress in general in BOTH parties need new blood. I just think she and the "squad" have overreached trying to do too much too soon. They are energizing their side, but they are energizing the other side just as much. That's why I think Speaker Pelosi is trying to reign them in. Pelosi is charged with actually keeping the majority and trying to win back the WH. Advocating for too much free stuff helps T-rump and the last thing most reasonable people want is 4 more years of that..

AOC is TRYING to run Congress as one member of one district which she has no business trying to do. THAT is the point which apparently goes right over your head..

Not to mention that a failed business man and a reality television star isn't qualified to be the president of the U.S.

You won't get any argument from me about that last part..
