    Default AOC mocks middle American's Re: voting

    She is SUCH an idiot. She drives through the corn and things she's slick in pointing out the massive area and lack of people - and therefore lack of people determining elections.

    Oh - racism too!

    The left is still sore that the electoral college works, and showed it best in action for the said elections spoken about. Cuckoo California & Nutty NYC should not be the states most determining of our elections. The left knows that the system works, they know they cannot change the population of these states, so they want to get rid of the EC. Just like they can't handle anything else tat comes with losing an election - like SC judges - and that too they now want to alter as a result. Whiny little sore losers.

    Ocasio-Cortez Mocks Middle America in Effort to Delegitimize Electoral College

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) openly mocked the Electoral College, and as a consequence, Middle America’s voice, in an Instagram video posted Monday.

    The freshman lawmaker posted a sarcastic video to social media, offering commentary as she drove by empty fields in an effort to delegitimize the importance of the Electoral College and, as a consequence, the Americans it gives a voice to.

    “Alright everyone it’s been a minute. We’re coming to you live from the Electoral College,” she said, with the video panning to empty plainlands.

    “Many votes here, as you can see. Very efficient way to choose leadership of the country. I mean, I can’t think of any other way. Can you?” she sarcastically asked.



    (Watch above video at link below, above is just an image)

    Ocasio-Cortez followed up, writing, “To all the Republicans getting big mad bc the electoral college is, in fact, a scam:” followed by an article from the Intelligencer titled “Here’s Every Defense of the Electoral College – and Why They’re All Wrong.” She took shots at the Founding Fathers and argued that the U.S. “still” denies millions of Americans the right to vote, citing Puerto Ricans and “many folks released from prisons.”

    She also claimed that the Electoral College has a “racial injustice breakdown”:

    The Electoral College has a racial injustice breakdown. Due to severe racial disparities in certain states, the electoral college effectively weighs white voters over voters of color, as opposed to a “one person, one vote” system where all our votes are counted equally.

    “#FactsAreFacts, America. The Electoral College has got to go,” she closed.

    This is far from the first time Ocasio-Cortez has questioned the Electoral College. She tweeted last year – prior to her victory – “It is well past time we eliminate the Electoral College, a shadow of slavery’s power on America today that undermines our nation as a democratic republic”:



    As Breitbart News has previously explained, the Founding Fathers designed the Electoral College as a safeguard against mob rule, essentially preventing high population areas – such as the modern day Northeast Coast and California West Coast – from determining the outcome of presidential elections. It gives flyover America a proportional voice in choosing the leader of the nation– something critics, such as Ocasio-Cortez, seem to overlook.

    Notable 2020 Democrats – including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) – have also called for the abolishment of the age-old system.





    President Trump ultimately beat Hillary Clinton with 304 Electoral College votes to her 232, thanks in part to his victories in the Rust Belt states. However, some on the left were quick to attempt to delegitimize his presidency by pointing to Clinton’s popular vote victory, despite the fact that Trump was not the first candidate to win a presidential election while losing the popular vote.

    I would call her a moron but she doesn't even believe in the things she says.

    Our electoral college combined with the structure of our Congress is EXACTLY what makes us a Democratic Republic.

    Sure wish Donald Trump had not Tweeted about the EC before running in 2016 though.

    The electoral college functions as a block against mob-rule, socialist mainstream media induced brainwashing and the leftist dem party's lying propaganda leading millions astray and thereby subverting the election process.
    The framer/founding fathers knew what they were doing and set that safety valve in place exactly because they knew some future time would come that
    it could and would check egregiously lead masses from destroying this Representative Republic.
    Who but damn fools think this cretin, this ignorant moron with her big mouth is anything but a useful idiot that follows marching orders from her invisible handler.
    Myself, I HAVE JUST AS MUCH CONTEMPT FOR THE BLITHERING IGNORANT ASSHOLES THAT PUT HER IN POWER AS I DO FOR HER.

    Kath, I don't know why a Republican doesn't just ask a simple question.

    "I thought the DNC was against disenfranchising voters?"

    Which is of course exactly what would happen if the EC were done away. Thankfully the brilliance of our Constitution once again comes into play and the very people who would be disenfranchised would have to vote for it.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls The Electoral College A Scam – Claims That It’s Racist

    Democrats can continue to defend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if they want to, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that she’s just not very smart, or honest for that matter.

    She is now claiming that the Electoral College is racist and is bad for minorities. That’s simply not true, not to mention a really dumb thing to say.

    The Hill reports:

    Ocasio-Cortez blasts Electoral College as a ‘scam’

    First-term Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is calling for the U.S. to abolish the Electoral College, saying that the voting system is a “scam” that negatively impacts minorities.

    Ocasio-Cortez made her argument on Monday in an Instagram story that includes her driving along a deserted highway and quipping, “many votes here, as you can see.”

    “Very efficient way to choose leadership of the country. I mean I can’t think of any other way, can you?” Ocasio-Cortez says, before going on to cite a report from New York Magazine that argues the defenses of the system that determines the winner of presidential elections are flawed.

    The freshman lawmaker said the Electoral College is a “scam” that has a “racial injustice breakdown” undermining the votes of people of color.

    “Due to severe racial disparities in certain states, the Electoral College effectively weighs white voters over voters of color, as apposed to a ‘one person, one vote’ system where all our votes are counted equally,” she says, before pushing back against the argument that eliminating the Electoral College would give big states too much power.
    Odds are that AOC doesn’t even believe this. She just wants Democrat cities like New York and San Francisco to choose every president.

    People reacted to this on Twitter:





    And she thinks no one sees this for what it is.

    Default AOC mocks middle American's Re: voting

    Anyone that favors eliminating the Electoral College should take long, hard look at New York.

    Here, as in all states, popular votes, not electoral votes choose our leaders.
    In summary, New York City runs the state.

    We have not had a Republican governor since 2005, the last time we had a Republican Senator was in 1999.

    Downstate is flourishing while Upstate is languishing. Our governor knows his base is in NYC, so the upstate gets little to no attention and it shows.

    This is what America will look like if AOC gets her wish. Most of America will be forgotten while the large cities get all the attention. And guess which party will be in control....

    The same happens with Southern Oregon. Portland, Salem, and Eugene get the perks.
    Ditto for Northern California. Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles basin get the perks.
