    I don't know, I watch these clips where Ocasio-Cortez is supposedly making huge gaffes and it seems like her policy knowledge is...probably about on par with or maybe a bit ahead of the average member of Congress.

        Something people say when they have inadequate “policy knowledge” because they feel inadequate.

        . @mtracey @NateSilver538 It’s not that she seems uninformed. It’s that she says thing like: abolish the profit motive Because that has been such an amazing success everywhere it’s been tried before. #thistimeisdifferenthttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1027612406720159744 …

        Character is good, but it's the kind of vague term that can be appropriated to justify nearly any means and ends. Plus everyone thinks they have good character. I think you need character and also a sense of balance.

        This statement implies you would rather work for a boss with great morals than one that understands how to deliver on their commitments to you. As long as someone’s self interests are aligned with ethical behavior, their morals are irrelevant.

        That’s more philosophy than policy specifics. Both are important, but as long as a rep. has some proficiency or above average understanding of policy, the more minute details can be hammered out by their aides working with actual policy wonks.

        Exactly people like @NateSilver are the reason politics have become info-tainment and a statistics game like fantasy baseball. Taking shots at an inspiring young woman leader in the party is not helpful.

        Aren’t you the guy @JackPosobiec likes to retweet? Exactly where are you in the political spectrum? Genuinely curious.

        You nailed it! Mike, I don't know much about your politics, but man, I could easily mistake some of your tweets (like this one) for my own, and vice versa. Much respect.

        Nate, I would cut Ocasio-Cortez more slack on economic ignorance (you're right the average economic IQ of Congress is piss poor) had she not bragged about her degree in Economics. See this thread: https://twitter.com/Ocasio2018/status/1014127299875270660 …
