I don't care how different they are, calling out that somebody used to mow lawns or wait tables or pick up dog shit or whatever is always petty and unnecessary. Let's leave that to MAGA and act like grownups.

As for AOC having "basically no experience outside of relevant college coursework" - she interned in Ted Kennedy's office on immigration and foreign affairs, worked for a Hispanic-focused nonprofit, started a small publishing business, and worked for Bernie Sanders' campaign, all while doing second jobs in restaurants. She also spent two years mounting her own House campaign. She was focused on politics and relevant issues through her whole 20s. Borrowing your argumentative tactic, "there's a pretty huge difference" between her and a recent college grad.

But in both cases calling out their past shit jobs is irrelevant.

    Petty and unnecessary is getting mad at people for being rude to members of a fascist regime who are trying to kill us.
