    What is this bullshit credentialism? A degree tells you nothing about whether someone is good or bad, whether they’ll follow the law, whether they’d make a good leader. Is the argument supposed to be that psychopaths and war criminals can’t advanced degrees? Gtfo

      I like it. Tell that to the Republican party that are currently doing the rounds pretending Kamala is some sort of incompetent dummy. Trump said that she is stupid because she had to work too hard to pass the Bar after earning a doctorate in law, while he himself never even pursued grad school and witness accounts point to his undergrad transcripts being a horror show.

      A degree in law and passing the bar does in fact show someone knows about the law, a prerequisite for following it in the context of being a lawmaker.
