I don't think she's dumb and my guess is she's more intelligent than some/many/even most who believe she is dumb.
That being said, I know I'm an idiot and I admit I'm having trouble understanding what it is about her being "ON TV! All the time!! At 29 years old" that makes her intelligent.
There are a lot of fucking idiots who are ON TV! All the time!! At 29 years old - and all other ages.
By the way, she's not 29 years old but I'll give you credit because she was indeed ON TV! Sometimes! At 29 years old.
She was elected at age 29, Grandma, and my post described when she managed to get elected. On TV, all the time--I was just joking, because the TV pundit types love her, but isn't that what Trump values most--being on TV? Apart from on the cover of TIME.
I'm not a fan of AOC, but it takes some kind of smarts to figure out how to get oneself into an elected job making $174,000 a year at age 29. I'm just laughing at the guys who insist she's not intelligent--were they making $174,000 annually at that age?
I'm sure some were/are.

While I really like having someone bring attention to the plight of lower income people, I'm not much of a fan of AOC, either. In addition to being totally over the top and effectively alienating many of the very people whose support she needs, she seems to share Bernie's fantasy that simply by "getting their message out", they'll somehow awaken the sleeping masses, they who rarely/never vote, and ride the resultant tidal wave to victory. Certainly, an n-of-1, the Iowa democratic caucuses, does not a trend make, but if that "strategy" is a winning one, why was attendance at the caucuses down? I guess time will tell.
And, imo, she poses more of an existential threat to democrats than republicans.
Nevertheless, anyone who underestimates her does so at their own risk.

Yes, she is pretty. But be prepared for an outrage on here just for stating the obvious.

Yup. Pretty dumb, pretty naive, pretty obnoxious, and pretty inarticulate.

By your logic that salary/money = intelligence you must think Trump is brilliant.
If Trump had invested the $200 million he inherited from his father in an index fund--he might be a billionaire like Bloomberg instead of a millionaire who went bankrupt and had to be bailed out by the Russians. Then you might call him at least average in intelligence.

Salary doesnt equal intelligence. You know it, it was a poor analogy, own it.

I think you're maybe confusing business bankruptcy and personal bankruptcy?

If that were true, Hollywood, the NBA, and the NFL would all be full of geniuses. Pretty sure that’s not the case.

Psych put down AOC as a WAITRESS numerous times, so I naturally assumed that the 3 Mouseketeers were down on people who don't earn a lot of money and are maybe not the brightest crayon in the box. But, I guess it's not about salary and intelligence, Waitress just equals "Cunt" to the Mousketeers.
Sorry for the confusion.

I dont give a shit if shes a waitress, just like i dont care what her salary is now. Money and position dont automatically make my judgments for me about people and their intelligence.
