Look at that stupid picture. Only idiots and posers put their glasses on like that. And AOC is both an idiot and a poser.

Nobody can teach AOC a damn thing. What a waste of time.

Not that we need any more proof as to the low IQ level of cortez but when she says something this stupid; it really solidifies it rock hard.

The Electoral College is a natural by-product of the Great Compromise, in which the highly populated states received greater representation via the House of Representatives in which the number of seats was strictly proportionate to population, and the smaller states got representation via the Senate, in which every state was equal.

I would argue that if you get rid of the EC, you have essentially given smaller states the right to secede...in a similar manner that the abrogation of the Bill of Rights (or any of them) that gave the government more power would erase the legitimacy of the government (and, thus, the reason for any particular individual to abide by laws passed by that now illegitimate government). Why? Because BOTH of those were part of the essential bargain that resulted in the Constitution being ratified in the first place. But for the EC, and the sincere promise of the BoR being passed and handed to the states for ratification as a package, arguably the Constitution would never have been ratified. These things are SO fundamental to our system of government that to get rid of them (or modify them so severely as to effectively eliminate them) would be to destroy our form of government.

‘Rural areas DO have less of a say even within the electoral college system.’

a true statement; one many on this website would do well to remember...and in reality, the only way to address this is to get rid of the damned winner take all system, and give weight to the various congressional districts, like ME and NE...

Her work history seems to be a lot of government bureaucratic employment followed by working at a bar. This isn’t the best preparation for somebody helping to govern a nation.

Ever since her corrupt chief of staff quit, she’s had to rely on her own ignorance and stupidity.

If we had a pure democracy, all minorities would be enslaved or killed, which is why the second amendment, and the first, which is protected by it, is so important.

Without the Electoral College, we no longer have a nation.

Don’t know whether she is stupid or lying. I’m thinking she’s stupid.

They would have to amend that dusty old Constitution to do away with the EC. Idiot doesn’t realize she doesn’t get to vote for President. She gets to vote for the electors of her state.
