She is a Congress woman with a degree in economics. Whether or not she was a bartender is neither a disqualifier for her current position, nor is it a source of shame.
What are your credentials if any to have an opinion on this matter, if you think that being a past bartender disqualifies her position?
I did not voice an "opinion on the matter" precisely because my credentials with respect to it are the same as her own: non-existent. An economics degree does not make one an expert on energy policy, just like a law degree or a software engineering degree doesn't make one a surgeon.
You however voiced your opinion that her platform is meaningless based on a past profession rather than acknowledge the merits of her current profession, educational background or any external input she may have received to put forward this platform with many others.
Why not address the merits or lack thereof of the platform instead of trying to tear her down?
How is anyone of a lower socioeconomic demographic ever meant to make a difference if people like you simply dismiss them based on a job they had to hold to make ends meet? It's elitist
First off, I do generally regard non-expert opinions on complex subjects as ridiculous (see Gell-Mann amnesia on why that is). But AOC helped me in that by not reading her own proposal, and allowing "cow farts" to figure prominently in it. That just invites ridicule.
As to why I did not address the merits: it's not a serious proposal, so there's really nothing to address as it presents no details for how to get from point A to point B, how much it will cost, how it will (or will not) help domestic industry, what the electricity will cost when all is said and done, how that will affect the standard of living, etc.
It's a "hope" and, as they say in the military, hope is not a strategy. This is sort of like "addressing" a poem - a completely meaningless endeavor.
By ridiculing the platform in this comment of yours, you contradict your previous comment that you have no opinion on it due to your lack of credentials.
