      AOC is herself, pretty well educated:

      [In high school] She came in second in the microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2007 with a research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.[23][24] In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the MIT Lincoln Laboratory named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[25][26] In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute’s Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. After graduating, she became the LDZ secretary of state while attending Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[27]

      That was before she even went to college

        I’m gonna focus on college and after. But it’s not that just that Obama was educated, he was a practicing lawyer and professor steeped in constitutional law.

          I mean she graduated cum laude from Boston University with a Bacheslors in International Relations and Economics

          That isn’t nothing.

            Sigh. I didn’t say it’s not nothing. You’re making up a strawman to argue against.

            I’m highlighting the extensive and impressive qualifications of Obama. They are massively different. You know I started typing more but there’s no point in discussing when you are making up a strawman to argue against. Go look up Obama’s education and career before being president.
