I think she's so much more attractive when she isn't talking. You know, the whole "Better to keep silent and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubts" thing.
I almost feel sorry for her; almost.
She is so lost. The grass is NOT always greener in the other side!

Shes a fucking puppet. She has no idea of what she is talking about, She is being fed an agenda .
Lets see, who would benefit the most if the electoral collage were eliminated? Yeah, the big city democrats , while the people in the towns have almost no say. The cards are heavily stacked in the democr......, socialists favor.
Shes not intelligent or malicious enough to have come to that conclusion on her own. Shes a dumb kid who thinks she is doing the right thing . There are people behind this airhead.

Give it a whirl, get that Constituional Amendment going! And all those snowflakes were worried about the damage a SCOTUS appointment could do!?!? LMAO!
I'd say give em what they want! Let's open the books, there's a few amendments needing some tightening up! So be careful what you wish for...

The problem are two corrupt political parties, not an oddball like her. I can't think of any Western Democracy where socialists are not represented in the government. Stop towing the line for people who do nothing for you. Gun control is pushed by the middle of the road politicians from both parties, it's at the bottom of the list of far left.

I agree with that you just said except for the last sentence. If that were the case, then why does every single solid blue state have heavy gun control?

If the electorial college is eliminated: NY and California would control all elections...just like NY $hitty controls NY State. At this time, the DEMS and Libs and illegal voters would control the country. IF and I say IF...the media would publish all the stupid stuff cortez has said, Congress would petition she step down. Just 1/10th the bashing the Prez gets and she would be a memory
This is not true. Just off the top of my head I can name a few blue states with decent gun laws PA (when it was solid blue), Delaware, Oregon, Minnesota, Michigan, there are others as well.
Her district will never elect a pro-gun conservative. The choice is between mainstream democrat who will prioritize gun control or a leftist like her who will focus on other agenda with gun control at the bottom of the list.

In her fucking district and in NY state. Not the rest of the country. Misstating what people say and quoting out of context. I expect nothing less from you. A leftist kook like her is less of a danger to gun rights than an average NY republican politician.

A member of Congress who published the strongest anti 2A platform and quotes anti gun fake news as factual statistics is in fact a danger to gun rights. From her campaign site so there is no accucation of misquotes.
"School shootings have become all too routine in America, and in urban areas like the Bronx and Queens, gun violence is a regular reality in many communities. In some states, it’s easier for teenagers to buy assault weapons than it is for families to get health insurance. Every year, more than 15,000 Americans die due to gun violence, excluding suicides. In America, gun violence is occurring at a rate 10 times higher than in other high-income countries.
With every mass shooting, we see lots of thoughts and prayers from our politicians, but continue to see no action. Republicans ban studying gun violence and write legislation designed to help gun stores that break the law. The NRA, a vehicle for gun manufacturers that disguises itself as a civil rights organization, is run by a man who helped arm narco-terrorists in what became the Iran-Contra scandal. Instead of fighting to save American lives, politicians bend over backwards to protect the billionaire-backed gun lobby and propose measures that would actually increase gun sales, such as the incredulous proposal to arm teachers.
Alexandria knows that it doesn’t have to be this way. Even in the United States, cities and states with strong gun laws have managed to cut gun violence significantly without running afoul of the Second Amendment. Thanks in part to New York City’s tough gun laws, gun crimes here are at historic lows. But New York – and the rest of the country – has the potential to be much safer. Alexandria believes that supporting common-sense gun legislation is necessary for any politician who claims to care about the lives of constituents. She understands that gun control can save lives and make communities and schools safer.
Ban Assault Weapons, High-Capacity Magazines, and Bump Stocks
It’s clear that the Founding Fathers did not have assault weapons in mind when they wrote the Second Amendment. These machines of war were brought over to the civilian market in the 1980s, alongside high-capacity magazines, and dramatically increase the death toll of mass shootings where used. Alexandria believes that the Federal Assault Weapons Ban should be reinstated, strengthened, and made permanent.
Require Domestic Abusers and Stalkers to Surrender Their Firearms
The availability of guns heightens the stakes of intimate partner violence and domestic abuse. On average, more than 760 Americans are shot to death by current or former partners each year. Yet federal laws meant to block domestic abusers from obtaining guns do not close the “intimate partner gap,” in which a partner convicted of abuse can buy a gun if they don’t live with, or have a child with, the victim of abuse. Federal laws also fail to prevent convicted stalkers or subjects of restraining orders from buying guns. Worst of all, once convicted of domestic abuse, abusers can keep any firearms they currently possess – and then continue to commit crimes with guns they would fail the background check for. Alexandria believes that anyone convicted of relationship violence has no right to own a weapon of any kind, and that stalkers or subjects of restraining orders should never be armed.
Mandate Universal and Improved Background Checks for Firearm Purchases
The federal background check system has a dangerous loophole: felons, domestic abusers, and the seriously mentally ill can buy guns off of the internet or at gun shows without going through a background check. These cases are not rare: 1 in 5 gun owners obtained their most recent gun without a background check. And unsurprisingly, those barred from buying guns gravitate towards a “private sale”—another dangerous loophole in the background check system where firearm offenders are overwhelmingly likely to obtain weapons.
Alexandria knows that closing background check loopholes will save thousands of lives, as will changing regulations to prevent gun sales from proceeding without sufficient background checks.
Require Congresspeople to take no money from the gun lobby or private equity companies that invest in the firearms industry
Gun lobby money is the number one barrier to getting any meaningful action on guns accomplished in Congress. The NRA has invested millions of dollars to make sure our politicians keep our gun laws weak and our children at risk. This is also not just a Republican problem -- many Democrats take millions of dollars from private equity companies that own large stakes in gun companies and stand to lose millions of dollars if gun laws are made stricter.
We need to make sure our Congresspeople are making laws to protect Americans and not the gun lobby, and until we take away the financial incentive for our elected officials, we will continue to have Republicans blocking any gun regulations and Democrats not having the will to fight hard enough against it.
Alexandria will work with the Democrats in Washington to overcome Republican resistance to life-saving, common sense gun reform, and ensure that policies are made for the American people—not the NRA. She will fight to end America’s gun violence epidemic caused by weak gun laws, NRA-controlled politicians, and the apathy preventing progress on addressing this issue."

Just like obummer who claimed isis was minor league. These are the most dangerous people in the struggle to uphold our 2nd amendment rights. Their numbers are growing.

Rhetoric is for indoctrinated morons. Obama didn't sign a single gun law or executive order that had a negative effect on 2A rights. This is typical and it is getting old.
We are urged to vote based on rhetoric and get stabbed in the back by actions. Scare and screw politics. This is why CMP doesn't get into politics and gets things done.

Just because he didn't use executive orders or sign bills doesn't mean he was harmless. Obummer worked harder at demonizing gun owners and changing the public's perception of guns for the worse than anyone else previously.

Ignorance ??? no gun laws because obummer couldn't get 60 votes from the senate....he'd of done it in a wink if he could.
