The AOC Test
AOC has done an excellent job at marketing herself as a progressive, as the champion of workers everywhere. She often says or tweets the right thing. But when it comes time to actually vote, she wavers. For example, when she first entered office, she vowed not to vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House – yet AOC promptly voted for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. AOC vowed not to keep sending unconditional aid to Israel – yet AOC promptly voted to send more aid to Israel. Famously, she wore a “Tax the Rich” dress to the Met Gala. The irony behind the fact that she was wearing a custom dress to the Met Gala was jarring. The Republicans, who sense an opening, and are posturing (i.e., Rubio with his tweet) are a formidable threat to Democrats hoping to reclaim working-class trust. For one, Republicans dispense with all the woke nonsense, which Democrats have constructed their entire worldview around. Why that’s a problem for Democrats is that the woke worldview is very much an outgrowth of discrete academic curriculums and is accordingly a staple of the professional-managerial class – not the working class. The HR departments around the country espousing the woke worldview are in elite universities, left-leaning think tanks, and corporations. Not working-class establishments. I don’t think DEI initiatives or racial commemoration months are a big priority with working-class cats, like, say, the railroad workers who are currently fighting for increased sick leave. And second, the working class is wary of the left’s open-border talk. The working-class values protectionist trade policies – which have come to be more closely associated with the GOP. Open borders threaten the working class’s job security. At least, that’s what many believe. The political calculus remains the same: people will vote in their economic interests roughly every time.

Yeah, but I don't know what that has to do with her intelligence.
Boston University has confirmed that she graduated cum laude

her smarts mean very little when she is controlled by others. But you knew that.

Where is anyone's IQ records these days? Is this something common that we should expect from people?
Boston University has confirmed that she graduated cum laude (GPA above 3.5) with majors in International Relations and Economics. She has an asteroid named after her for her prowess in microbiology in high school.
She may not be the poster child of common sense, but to say she isn't intelligent is just ignorant.

I am not a fan of AOC, Biden and I wonder about Trump. I try to separate as to what is written about Trump but he continues to do stupid stuff like his dinner at Maralago with Kayne West and the other guy. Dumb. So lets move on to AOC. Regardless of what is written here she should have been offered $175,000 a year starting job on Wall Street as they would chase her down the street to hire her. Why? Because shes decent looking, female and a minority. Wall street would kill to hire her.
So just why didn't that take place as recruiters go on campus before graduation. So just where are her IQ records? I wrote on this site years ago that possibly she didn't take her tests. I am a graduate engineer and hold an MBA from a top 50 MBA ranked program globally. I studied in Hong Kong and China. I have taken Macro and Micro Economics until I am blue in the face and I also understand Statistics, Regression Analysis and I taught Statistical Process Control in Industry.
I know what she should know but what comes from her doesn't add up when she speaks. Yes, USA something is amiss here.
So here comes this article.

Has anyone noticed they are trying to bring back the narrative back to center. I also wonder about her wanting to defund ICE. Should the DHS be looking into possible ties to the bad guys?
Because shes decent looking, female and a minority.
