Somewhere a buffet is missing its best (or worst) customer (hey, if she's gonna play the worn-out race card)

Failed politician Stacey Abrams wants to do away with the electoral college. Her reasoning? The electoral college is a "classist, racist system whose time has passed and we need to get rid of it," so it's the same argument the left makes to get rid of everything they don't like. Naturally, Abrams attacked the centuries old constitutional system with the cast of ABC's "The View" on Monday morning.
Abrams claims the founding founders created the electoral system as a racist system designed somehow to prevent blacks from voting. To make her point, Abrams repeated the historically illiterate lie about the three-fifths compromise being the iniquitous idea of racist Southerners. Of course, it was Southerners who wanted slaves to be fully counted for purposes of representation in Congress and Northerners who opposed it. But such facts only get in the way of leftwing demagogues like Stacey Abrams.
Abrams then claimed the electoral college was simultaneously designed to prevent poor white men from voting in the North.
"The classist part was that in the North, too many immigrants from parts of Europe that people weren't excited about, too many poor people, too many poor white men were trying to vote," Abrams alleged, "and so the Northerners said, 'well, we don't want people who aren't equipped to make this decision to be selecting the executive of our nation,' so the electoral college said, 'yes you can speak up, but we'll decide if you're right.' It's a classist racist system whose time has passed and we need to get rid of it."
In Abrams' mind, the electoral college is a racist system somehow capable of being racist towards both blacks and whites. In reality, the founders created a constitutional republic designed to safeguard against a radical democracy of any kind. Radical democracies are known to trample upon the rights of minorities and can fall prey to mob-like tactics currently in vogue on the radical left, which is why leftists want to get rid of it.
Abrams says she supports the National Popular Vote because, as Abrams puts it, it would "basically jerry rig the system and go around the Constitution." And while Abrams claims she would prefer to "fix it at the source" with a constitutional amendment, Abrams said simply "I don't have that kind of time."
Americans find progressive ideas to be repugnant, so leftists like Abrams need to rework our constitutional republic in order to force their will on the American people. Abrams recently announced that she plans on running for president in the future, so she's going to need the vote of every felon, illegal immigrant, child and dead person to count if she's ever going to have a shot at winning the White House.

Somewhere a village is missing its idiot...
I guess I’m confused. Wasn’t the Electoral College formed while Blacks were slaves and couldn’t vote?
It is still a mystery to me how this nutcase almost won Georgia.
She forgot hetersexist, speciesist, ableist, cisgenderist, the EC is that,too /s
The Ghettopotamus is staring down the Constitution.
Don’t even know who this Stacey Abrams is.....
Oh my, LOL
She’s got three things well—losing, calling everything racist, and eating....
The classic way Democrats deal with losing a contest — change the rule book to make them win.
Why is this moron getting press space?
Well, move to a country that doesn’t have this. Kenya is nice right now—if you like eating locusts.
It was to give small states a voice.
This is another Leftist who thinks California and New York are the
only two state who need a voice.
I have no idea how the Electoral College could be used to accomplish
a racist goal.
A stupid, fat, affirmative action idiot
That she came within 50k or so votes of being governor of GA is scary as could be. Unline Obama, she actually has executive experience - and it’s bad.
No, it’s not a failed system. It’s a system that requires an IQ of at least 90 to understand.
This was Obastard's argument all the time, too. The tyrants never have "enough time" to follow the rules and laws; they have to jam things through extra-constitutionally. "If Congress won't act, I'll just sign an Executive Order."
The latest "not enough time" argument from the Democrat despots was about Trump. They argued it was a national emergency and he must be removed from office before the next election because, Heaven forbid!, the idiot voters might re-elect him.
This woman is an illiterate loon completely ignorant of history (and so much more). The ignorance and stupidity of these people is just breathtaking.
It’s called universal suffrage.
She’s so fat if she wore high heels she’d strike oil! So fat when it rains in metro Atlanta she uses I 285 as a slip n slide!
