Why the Next American President Should Be Able to Bartend
It’s a testament to our age that a whole lot of people, our president among them, think both that it’s a sick burn to call someone a bartender, and that to point out that a person did such work is to prove that he or she is disqualified to hold political office.
Of course, by “he or she” I mean “she,” and by “she” I mean the Congressperson for the 14th District of New York, Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The fact that her political opponents are trying to use Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s former occupation against her speaks volumes about their attitudes to the people who perform the services from which we weave the fabric of our daily lives.
