She graduated cum laude from Boston University, which USNews ranks 40th. LSU is ranked 73rd.

Could one graduate cum laude from LSU with an IQ below 80?

She is no genius, and I disagree with her positions on 90% of issues, but it is ridiculous to make this sort of claim. It detracts from your credibility.

On pure brainpower, I suspect that she tops 75% of the posters on this forum.

Party dues going unpaid isn’t really defendable.

AOC refusing to share money / bankrolling challengers to fellow Dems? The Dems created this fricking mess through how Hillary misused DNC fundraising in 2016, bankrupting the organization and giving pennies on the dollar to any candidate she fundraised with.

If the party had a history of “every man for himself” with regards to funding, it is hard to fault AOC for coughing up money for other Dems.

Cum laude only means as much as the curriculum it came through. And I don’t necessarily mean the school in general.

She apparently had a double major in economics and international relations, but I don’t see how given she seems to be economically illiterate. She seems to think the only economists are Keynes, Marx, and Engels.

I ask my question differently. Is there any college within LSU in which you can maintain a GPA of 3.5 with an IQ that is almost 2 SDs below the mean for the school?

You disagree with her. Fine, so do I. It is OK to admit that she is not as dumb as your Yellow Lab.

Absolutely. I don't think the GOP would have nearly the problems that the DNC has due to the DNC's love of Byzantine rules for even the most straightforward things. Nothing makes a bureaucrat more impotent than not funding them.

At my school (not LSU), it was possible for really dumb people to get high grades in certain fields like education, music, and the arts if they ether just showed up or they kissed the right asses.

4.0 in education classes is not the same as 4.0 in business, engineering, hard sciences, etc.

I looked up the same thing about 20 minutes ago. I was going to post it, but decided not to.

I hear what you're saying, but she really does seem to be less than impressive.

Would you trust her to run an important project if it involved your money, or was important to you?

Young Turks put her in as their puppet. But you are correct - how are all these completely ignorant and corrupt morons running our country?

the problem is she is paying her "fair share", just not to the DEMs. she's a Justice Democrat or whatever dark party who promoted her

She doesn't consider herself a Democrat. She's a socialist.

She admitted this week that she's only in the same party as Biden because America's two party system forces her to be. The democratic party is shifting to her and will be openly socialists in the next 2 decades (or sooner).

You may be correct on that point.

But she does not seem, act and speak like a smart or wise person degree or not.

This is the first time in her life when "alternative forms of payment" are not accepted.
