(2,071 posts)When folks talk about AOC, they talk in terms of what does she know, see he is only a bartender. I think they tend to forget, the bar part was to put herself through school. I believe Amy said AOC was very smart and I believe was getting a degree in economics. She noted you never hear someone refer go her in that way.

(1,920 posts)A Bartender is somewhere between a chemist and a chef.
If drinks are not mixed properly, customers are not coming back.
Also, aside from politics, imagine all the recipes she must be able to keep track of.
A waitress has to remember everyone's orders. I can't do that.
I can barely open a can and dump it in a pot, I'm no chef, or bartender, or chemist.
but to hear her speak, she says what I've been saying for decades.

(2,071 posts)Instead, she was arguing that instead of labeling her as a scholar, they label her as a bartender, which no matter how skilled, it does lot devote a highly educated person. It illustrated how they frame things and how misogynistic they are, using a lesser label. She is a bartender, not an educated representative. What can she know about government? Well, she is well educated on the economy, so maybe give her some credit!
