Which of these things is NOT like the other......

Also, if wisdom comes with age, Trump loses every such contest.
Nobody said they were equal, Jesus H Christ can you answer a question without sounding like a complete moron just once on this forum?

She is a moron. With a bachelor's degree in economics, she should have had plenty of options, unless she had really bad grades or had no motivation.



With an unemployment rate that's the lowest in a generation, someone with an economics degree from BU should have plenty of options. If she had a degree in basketweaving from No-Name University, perhaps her options would have been more limited.
Lots of problems here. She graduated c-m laude and ran her own press firm before being a campaigner for Sanders.

The bartender thing is about relatability and frankly is a common second gig. But conservatives are using it as a weapon to call her stupid.

Here’s from wiki

She launched Brook Avenue Press, a publishing firm for books that portray the Bronx in a positive light.[33] She worked as lead educational strategist at GAGEis, Inc.[34] Ocasio-Cortez also worked for the nonprofit National Hispanic Institute (NHI),[35] and served as NHI's Educational Director of the 2017 Northeast Collegiate World Series, a five-day long program targeted at college-bound high school students from across the United States and other countries, where she participated in a panel on Latino leadership.[23][

I finished undergrad during a near-recession and my classmates, particularly with economics degrees, did fine; the ones with economics degrees usually went to banks and other financial firms, even in a much harder job market and from a school that nobody much has heard of.
Seriously? She is the youngest person ever to win a congressional seat and she beat an old stalwart who was in position to become the next Speaker. She is the toast of DC, is bringing her generation into politics, and has shook up the right wing rather badly it seems from all the comments. By anyone's yardstick that would be success and hardly fitting for a "moron". And she barely has her feet wet yet. Not bad for an Econ major.

"her own press firm": she couldn't get a job anywhere else. If she were capable, she would have been hired by a real company; the media business is thriving around NYC.

"campaigner for Sanders": rather than earn a living, she pursued a job that didn't pay anything.

"bartender thing": since neither job above paid anything, she had to find something to pay some of the bills.

She's a moron.

Don't forget, there area staunch Trumpists who are repulsed by the GOP. These people had already pretty much given up on the GOP and if it was anyone other than Trump who had run for office against Hillary, we might have found out just how close to extinction the party is. Many who voted Republican couldn't have given a rat's behind about the party, they just wanted Trump. Now the GOP has undermined Trump. Good going. Not for nothing do they call it "the stupid party". That look on Mitt Romney's puss when he found out he had lost against Obama. My sides. Expect more of this.

And LOL on the lefties who are concern trolling about the demise of the Republican party. Just, LOL. LMAO.

Exactly. I could sit on my sofa all day, check my bank balances online and claim to be "CEO of a investment fund" or "managing director of a family office". If I then got a job as a bartender, that would show what kind of job my prior one was (i.e., one that didn't amount to much of anything and couldn't pay the bills).

True.

And it seems like she had an interest in politics so perhaps that was her plan.

Better a young working woman than the 10,000th attorney in Congress.

You'll vote for him again. Just like you voted your whole life.
I'm was a registered Republican, I unregistered in 2015.
The Republican Party reabsorbed the Tea-Party (or had used it as a secret branch),
I am a registered independent now.

I think Ocazio is not bad for an Economics major. Plus she ran her own make-shift startup family-owned entrepreneur Press Firm. Once she legalizes all of the illegals and doesn't allow employers to hide their hiring practices, they will not be able to allow employers to bring down our wages anymore.
