AOC ignorance acceptable?

I see AOC and even Trump often being shalacked for their ignorance and sketchy math, but is that okay? All that matters is if you think they can surround themselves with knowledge. Wouldn’t you rather have someone you trust, even if not them two, then someone who’s a career politician who likely is owned by private interest?

She isn't polished. She misspeaks sometimes. But she's way more intelligent than Trump. But even if she isn't, she actually supports good policies. I'll take the bartender willing to fight for the correct causes over the businessman trying to sell out the nation so that their rich friends can earn a few million extra dollars.

@MasterLee Do you even understand what net neutrality is? Because net neutrality does not allow for censorship. If anything, net neutrality makes censorship more difficult.

Aoc is one ignorant washed up bartender for sure
I've got a problem with politicians that make ignorant statements, but it's deeper than what they know or don't know.

For example, do they or should they know they don't know what they're talking about?

And if so. why are they saying something that might be wrong?

These questions go to their judgment. reasoning and maybe even to their motivation, which they'd use to figure out whether they need advice and pick who to get it from.


Career politicians and corruption are different issues, but I think trust is the key, and I think political experience can be a positive thing and the lack of it is often overrated. A competent political hack for example, might be able to juggle the conflicts of interest better than an incompetent novice who can't manage conflicts or won't acknowledge them.

@Pussymechine Dwayne Johnson? I don't think I've ever even seen an interview.

He'd be nice to watch on TV though.
I can't trust somebody who is willfully ignorant.

Most of the complaining I see about AOC seems rather overblown, tbh. Trump is on a whole other level, though - and he's in a role with far more responsibility.
AOC is nowhere near as bad as Trump. Trump is [b]president[/b] and behaves like a vindictive school kid using the office to “get even” with perceived enemies. AOC is a freshman congresswoman with admittedly idealistic plans, still navigating the landscape of Congress.

@ChickenLover I’m stating that I don’t accept that basic premise. Trump lies [b]constantly[/b] and is only out for himself. I don’t believe AOC does. @Pussymechine
Trump’s a white nationalist. I don’t believe he has good intentions for anyone not white. His lies about his predecessor reflect the fact. AOC has good intentions, but like I said, is still pretty green.
