Ocasio-Cortez: Electoral College is ‘Affirmative Action’ for Rural Americans

[BREITBART] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Alexandria <q>Boom Boom</q> Ocasio-Cortez

Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
(D-NY) continued her verbal assault on the Electoral College, this time smearing the Constitutional system that guarantees big states don’t have undue influence in electing the president as an “electoral affirmative action” scheme for rural Americans.

On Friday, Ocasio-Cortez posted the following 5-point missive on Twitter:

I see Fox News is big mad about abolishing the electoral college.

So let’s talk about it.

1) If the GOP were the “silent majority” they claim, they wouldn’t be so scared of a popular vote.

They *know* they aren’t the majority. They rely on establishing minority rule for power.

3) LASTLY, this concept that the Electoral College is provides “fairness” to rural Americans over coastal states doesn’t hold any water whatsoever. First of all, virtually every state has rural communities. NY. California. Much of our states are rural.

But very importantly…

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) August 23, 2019

5) The Electoral College isn’t about fairness at all; it’s about empowering some voters over others.

Every vote should be = in America, no matter who you are or where you come from. The right thing to do is establish a Popular Vote. & GOP will do everything they can to fight it.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) August 23, 2019

Last week, the socialist lawmaker claimed the Electoral College “is, in fact, a scam” and has a “racial injustice breakdown.”

She wrote: “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.”

#3 Dear little Lexie really shouldn’t try to think — she might break something. My dear girl, the Electoral College was the countryside’s price for letting you city folk have a country.

#4 It’s a filter when the vote gets close. Like the Senate representing the states and the house representing the populace. The founders looked to provide a balance between often diverging interests, that is, until pres wilson f’ed it up with direct election of senators.

But Occasional Cortex never studied the constitution because she is always shooting off her mouth rather than taking things into serious rational consideration before speaking.

#6 Simple fact. No Electoral College, no United States.

Note well - United States

Eight smaller states were not going to join 5 larger states who would in turn dictate to the smaller states their existence, culture, economy, laws, etc. Today the many smaller states are not going to stay with 12 or so metropolitan areas who want to impose their culture, values, politics, economics upon them. Period.

Better you seek independent City States. You realize they are already drowning men, dragging anyone attempting to help them down with them.

#8 Even in 1776 the Founding Fathers knew better than to let New Yorkers run the show.

#9 I’m always curious how so many people fail to note the punctuation of the opening of our founding Declaration of Independence. Great care was given to its form and few note that in the first line, they described the document as a product of the united States of America. A clear display of their belief in the union of sovereign States united in common purpose.
