She does sound brilliant and accomplished. I am thrilled that she's so young, actually. We DO need to be bringing forward accomplished people of her generation so that the old fogies can turn over the reins to people with the knowledge, skills, and commitment can assume those roles.
We agree on the critique of gerontocracy at least.
What makes her so "brilliant" in your view? She has a political science degree (one of the easier ones) from a ho-hum university in Mississippi. Her professional background is as an organizer, which doesn't that that much brains.
You keep nitpicking. Hypercritical selectivity.
She made honor roll every year of school from 1st to 12th. Did you? Did MTG? Did George Santos? Did George W Bush? Did Hair Furor?
She graduated HS salutatorian. Did you? Did MTG? Did George Santos? Did George W Bush? Did Twitler?
She went to an historical Black college because she got a scholarship and in-state made it more viable economically. Did economics put a ceiling on school choice for you? For MTG? For George Santos? For GWB? For President Cuckoo Bananas?
I bet if she went to Harvard you'd be screaming Affirmative Action. It appears she couldn't make any choice at all except to be invisible or you would offer unwarranted criticism.
Next she graduated with a degree in politics and government. Did you? Did MTG? George Santos? President Mushroom Dick?
Then she worked up in ranks to President of SEIU in CA. Not a mere "organizer." Later working on campaigns. Director level jobs... Then, President of Emily's List, not a mere organizer. Yet you are there downplaying it all.
Were you ever in a professional leadership role heading up tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people? Was George Santos? Was MTG?
Your standards haven't been applied and the others are being created along the way out of nothing.
It's no wonder people like Newsom think the answer is to promise to select a Black woman. If people don't admit what's really going on and try to change themselves, then other people will try to go around them.
