A BA, with below-average grades, in a social science field is neither a big accomplishment, nor a proof of intellect nor a proof of high education in the Humboldtian sense.


And the inevitable doubledown lol.

Dat cognitive dissonance.

Her science isn't hard enough on the phallic scale of science rankings lol.

Maybe if she majored in physics she would better know how to create social policies says this guy.

Apparently Donald Trump in the GOP or a bunch of computer scientists, lol.

You're a smart dude but you always get baited into saying some stupid shit.

We're talking about a freakin Bachelor's degree, lol. A BA really doesnt imply a qualification level where it's feasible to argue along the lines of "this person has majored in this stuff, and is therefore well-qualified to devise laws and policy for this field".

Politicians dont necessarily need a high scientific degree in a relevant field to be competent at what they do, but you were the one explicitly arguing with her formal degree, and this argument just doesnt hold up with a simple BA (plus zero practical experience).

summa cum laude, magna cum laude, cum laude, rite.
almost no one graduates with rite, summa is also somewhat rare in most universities. magna typically is the most common grade, followed by regular cum laude.

but to be fair, the distribution might be different in American undergrad programs.


cum laude ranges from 3.0-3.4 at undergrad schools in America.

and to your point yeah you could have just under below average grades for the graduating claas and still graduate cum laude: https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/you-graduated-cum-laude-so-did-everyone-else-1530523801

Undergrad degrees often have minimal influence for advancement in many fields outside of disciplines such as pre-med, law, engineering, and math (among one or two more). case in point aoc went from cum laude undergraduate to bartender to politician. any degree ‘qualifies’ one for that career track

While you would know all about below average, you are just hating on someone else's successes, which is the kind of bullshit that the GOP bitches at the Democratic party about. Coming from the team who is presenting the son in law middle east peace plan this is rich.

You can't vote for Trump then complain about someone else's lack of intelligence. Well you can, it's just ironic.

ah yes more judgmental (and incorrect) assuming and posturing from a junior boomer pale pasty privileged lefty filled with unwarranted self-importance. you shouldn’t wear your inferiority complex on your sleeve so blatantly lmao, pathetic..

wtf is this about teams? my 'team' is the USA, your 'team' is a group of bitter burnouts who call everyone they don't like 'deplorable' on top of the many slurs you mutter out the side of your mouth. keep crying about actual aims at peace instead of constant warmongering, creep

e: reported, btw

Conservatives are less susceptible to cognitive dissonance. It's why they can bitch about the government distorting the free market then elect a president who utterly failed by the standards of the free market and only kept his fortune by abusing bankruptcy law. It's why they can bitch and moan about the national debt under Obama then praise Trump's tax cuts for the rich while the national debt keeps going up.

I remember a few years ago EndlessLie or Cam posted a study showing that liberals aren't able to predict conservatives positions based on their other positions but conservatives can predict liberal values. It was hailed as "SEE, LOOK, LIBERALS DON'T UNDERSTAND CONSERVATIVES!" when in reality it shows that liberals have policy views that are consistent with their values and conservatives just take whatever position feels good at the time.

those republicans who were actually excited about the fiscally conservative "romney/ryan" agenda are generally among those who nowadays are most uncomfortable with trump and trumpism. on the flip side, those GOP voters who make up trump's actual base were never truly behind the fiscally conservative stuff.

I absolutely disagree. It was the most radical group of Republicans, notably it was the stated reason for the founding of the Tea Party, that gave most support for fiscally conservative policies and are now the ones who make up Trump's base.
