AOC must think that back when the Electoral College was created the authors were trying to weight it against the millions of voting urban black slaves. 😂

This is insane identity politics on meth.

It is still one person,one vote. What it is not, and never has been, is voting by racial blocks.

Slaves were not allowed to vote. Lack of political power has been one of the defining characteristics of slavery. Why would anyone allow property to vote?

Non-citizens are not allowed to vote. Why would any rational person allow people without a stake in the nation power to decide its government?

The Left simply opposes any system that it sees as thwarting it from achieving power at the moment.

Their definition of "racist" is anything that interferes with their lust for power over everyone.

20% of voters in the United States think it is immoral for government power to be limited in any way.

That's a big ask. She doesn't think. She reacts, in accordance with her bigotry, ignorance, and ideology.

In my opinion, AOC does not think or understand anything she says when she opines on our Constitutional system of governance. Clearly, she does not understand the bargaining at the Constitutional Convention between the big and little States to ensure all would have an equal say in electing a President. Without realizing it, AOC, in her fly-over video, makes the point for the Electoral College. If those in rural areas had no voice, then they would be nothing more than hardworking contributors to a system which ignores them. Uninformed people like AOC don’t understand the balance that was struck in Philadelphia and its importance today. All they see is an impediment to left wing blue state rule.
