First step to what?
Nancy Pelosi spent her entire political career in the House of Representatives.
Did she miss out on the second step?
Talk about FOMO.
First step to accomplishments worthy of POTUS. You know, like being a party leader and having a significant record of success behind you like Pelosi had. That she never tried for a Senate seat or anything higher is irrelevant to the argument as that was apparently her choice.
You're comparing the government to a business.
They're not the same.
If they were, Trump wouldn't be president of the United States
He wouldn't have been qualified to apply.
Which honestly would've been fantastic for everyone. But, again, that's not how the government works.
It's just an analogy. I think we can all agree running a country like a business is a bad idea.
Point is what one does with the position they've obtained is more critical than obtaining it. I didn't think that was a hard concept to grasp, but I guess it is/was.
No, it's not. It's not a ladder. You don't have to be in the House of Representatives before you go to the Senate. Do you understand how people become politicians?
*sigh* intentionally obtuse? I know it's not a ladder and there's no requirement for that sequence.
However, it is typically seen as an upgrade to go from HoR to the Senate. If you're not aware of that, just admit it. We won't make fun of you too much.
It's possible you don't, considering you were shocked that our elections are popularity contests.
The only thing shocking is that someone simping so hard for a politician only has that childishly stupid argument to make.
I'm just enjoying watching you make stupid excuses as to why one of the most popular, influential Democrats aren't qualified to be president of the United States.
Influential. LOL
And what's your reasoning?
Her record (or lack there of) in legislative accomplishments and committee assignments and leadership. The latter showing you just how NOT influential she is within her own part.
She hasn't "accomplished enough". A vague bar you can't even qualify. What's "enough of an accomplishment" for you?
Not vague at all and you have to be beyond stupid to think I haven't made it quite clear what accomplishments or positions she needs to have under her belt to be considered qualified.
Which one of our politicians is a scholar or a scientist or mathematician or an engineer? Do they have to cure cancer before they can become president of the United States?
Cool hyperbole. Still not an affirmative argument.
Face it you've been brainwashed to hate progressivism. Because your ideal political candidate would rule through stagnation. Like Biden did.
More stawmen. Just STFU already. Duhhhhh BrAiNwAsHeDzZ!!! Says the idiot who can't formulate an actual argument for someone beyond the intellectual capabilities of a tween aged girl.
He didn't even try to overturn any of Trumps policies. He simply managed the country for four years and then handed it back to Trump ...
LOL such a simp he has to misrepresent Biden's administration to make AOC look even remotely palatable.
Oh, he was such a good choice! He did absolutely nothing and left America open to Trump taking over and shitting all over it.
Complete horses*&^. How's that spittle layer coming along?
I'm so proud of the America we live in thanks to Biden.
If I remember correctly, didn't you claim you were leaving the country?
Because of work and the nonsense Trump is doing. Has nothing to do with Biden.
I'm glad you keep illustrating how irrational your hate towards progressivism is.
Citing wins of the past to try and whitewash what the movement has become is a sad look.
Still afraid of AI I see.
AI will be the bane of our society. It's good for an initial step of a process but trusting it without verifying or curating the result is beyond foolish.
Leaving aside her qualifications to run for office because well she successfully ran for office already.
Different office, different qualifications. HoR is the People's House. It's supposed to be where your average person enters public service at the national level and, as such, the bar is much lower.
Key actions include introducing the Green New Deal resolution,
"Championing" a body of work that had been around for over a decade isn't much of an accomplishment.
passing amendments to redirect federal funds toward opioid treatment and Puerto Rico recovery,
Two amendments in seven years. Holy s*&^!
and securing millions in community project funding for her district.
Great, so she's a good representative. What about POTUS? How is she any more qualified than dozens of other Dem Reps who have done the same or more?
From this I can clearly see what her qualifications are and what she stands for.
No, you see that she aligns with your biases and that's enough for you.
That AI summary reads like a weak resume. Only two points have actual metrics of success and they're pretty paltry in the grand scheme of things.
Did I mention she holds a Bachelor's degree in International Relations and Economics from Boston University?
So where are the committee assignments to put that knowledge to use? Where are her accomplishments that have taken that knowledge and put it into practice?
So what, it's a degree. Most people in Congress have advanced degrees.
She is obviously "qualified".

Nope. Sorry.
To use the resume analogy one more time, you're taking someone's resume from their first unremarkable seven years at the first level of middle management and claiming they have the chops to be CEO.
