So what is the relevance?

She hasn’t done anything of relevance to the community or nation yet.

Give her time, she is young and principled, as the money rolls in she will abandon those values and start to pass big business legislature.

you probably think those meme's are factual things..
LOL

No.. those three pics are... jokes. The video however is factual, as is this one...

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.

cum laude is below average now?

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.

Wut?

Cum laude is pretty rare over here, didn't know the distinctions with Germany were already so big. In my major (Mechanical/Electrical Engineering) I think around 8% got their BSc cum laude (summa/magna aren't really used here), and probably less than 5% got their Master's cum laude. To get just cum laude you need an average over all your courses that's higher than 8/10, and your graduation project needs 9/10 or higher. I know of some studies where maybe up to 20% graduated cum laude, but you will still be way above average if you do.
