    They also like to deride AOC as a waitress and say she knows nothing when she has a degree from Boston University in international relations and economics. Facts are not really their strong point.

      Even more so she is the epitome of pulled up by her bootstraps.

          To further emphasize your point, while in college, her dad died. She learned a lot about the (in)justice system going through probate. She also interned for Ted Kennedy. Once she graduated college, she most likely could have had an instantly “successful” career. Areas, she moved back home and became a waitress/bartender so she could help her mom who was struggling. As if that wasn’t enough, she also started working with and promoting her community.

              I mean she’d probably make a great veep or pres, but I feel like where she’s at now she can do the most good. It’s not yet her time.

      Waitress (or any other retail service) experience is worth a lot in my book.
