Ocasio-Cortez needs to wake up and look at reality…
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, encouraged Americans to concentrate on genuine change rather than on more theoretical concepts, such as abolishing the Electoral College.
“It’s largely a dream because our Constitution is … hard to amend,” Ginsburg told a crowd while speaking at the University of Chicago. “I know that from experience.”
In the past, the liberal icon has expressed her approval for the measure, despite referring to the concept as “more theoretical than real.” While talking at Stanford University in 2017, Politico revealed that she included abolishing the institution on the list of stuff she wanted to alter about society.
“There are some things I would like to change, one is the Electoral College,” she said at the time. “But that would require a constitutional amendment, and amending our Constitution is powerfully hard to do.”
President Donald Trump was elected to the president in 2016 after gaining a majority in the Electoral College, but lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.
After revealing her worries with then-candidate Trump, Ginsburg faced extensive blowback.
“I can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imaging what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president,” she said during an interview. “For the country, it could be for years. For the court, it could be – I don’t even want to contemplate that.”
Ginsburg subsequently apologized and expressed admiration for both Trump’s appointees to the Supreme Court, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
Ginsburg’s comments originate as a slew of Democrats have called for the Electoral College to be abolished and the voting system of the United States to elect the president on the basis of popular vote.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while traveling through rural Iowa, mocked the Electoral College in particular.
“We’re coming to you live from the Electoral College,” she said on an Instagram Live story as she recorded an empty desert highway. “Many votes here as you can see – [it’s a] very efficient way to choose leadership of the country. I mean, I can’t think of any other way, can you?”
The self-proclaimed “radical” congresswoman tried to create several overlapping claims about why the Electoral College should be dissolved, all based on the fundamental concept that the American electoral system is racial and thus discriminatory against minorities.
“The Electoral College has a racial injustice breakdown,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “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 are counted equally.”
The New York congresswoman was largely criticized for her misunderstanding of American history and reverting to her often-used claim of systemic racism. Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, however, defended Ocasio-Cortez, stating that the Electoral College should “absolutely” be abolished because it was designed so that “those in power did not believe that working people had the intellectual capacity to directly elect the leader of the free world.”
Abrams has made changing the American voting system to elect Democrats her top priority going into the 2020 election cycle.
and if clinton had won because of the electoral college, there would be no discussion on the issue. The electoral college would be THE GREATEST THING of all time in politics. But it did not help clinton win, and now it is the ” BAD GUY ” here.
Of course , and it was just fine when the Dems won with it in the past also ,like you say not a peep about it back then from the delusional Dems ,but TDS causes strange things to happen to your Brain when you contract it and the delusional Dems definitely have it .
If you look at what happened in California, Illinois, New York and Florida where the Democrats were manufacturing votes and allowing illegals to vote, it is very possible that Trump even won the popular vote. Think two to two and half million illegal votes in California alone and New York. Then when you add what was going in in the districts in Florida, West Palm Beach and Broward where they were making up phony absentee ballots; in Broward even in the back room of where people were voting, taking them out the back door, loading them on a rental truck and bring them back in their personal vehicles. Fraud was discovered in some districts in Illinois and especially the large population center of Chicago. This is precisely why you never want to do away with the electoral college where a few States can manipulate the vote due to fraud and a large population.
EXACTLY!!!!!!
You are absolutely RIGHT!!
Ocasio-Cortez has the brain of a flea, pardon me for insulting fleas. The electoral college was created for the reason that large cities that are controlled by welfare recipients that gather in large cities along with their leftist handlers could not control the rest of the nation that supports the cities. last election, the electoral college worked as designed. Ocasio-Cortez does not have to live in a leftist cesspool, it is her choice, but the rest of us that choose to live where we are not crowded into the crap of said cesspool are not ruled by the s**t that resides there. The thing is, we of the country can live without the cities, but the cities can not survive without the products produced in the country that the electoral college represents. Think about it liberal leftist.
Ha, Abrams was correct “those in power did not believe that working people had the intellectual capacity to directly elect the leader of the free world.” We can see that in Occasional-Cortex, Omar and Tlaib.
Test
AOC & Stacy Abrams both together have an IQ lower then that of a rock, no insult intended to Mr. Rock. The difference being, Mr. Rock doesn’t have a political agenda driven by a financial motive to seek wealth and power over others like both AOC & Abrams. The best I can say, the single only reason AOC & Abrams have gone political was because their “Whoring” business fail due to lack of clients, in other words no one wanted to use their services for any amount of money. My sources say, AOC offered one “John” to actually pay him to do her, he outright refused and he said, “I wouldn’t do you with my brother’s dick, because you are butt-ugly”. There you are, it all comes down in the end to first money then sex, sex being at the bottom of all things. As for AOC and Abrams no man on this planet want sex with either of these two Skanks, simply because they are way to “Skanky”, there are as my source tells me, Freaken “Skanky, gawd damn Stinky Skanks”!
