Wikipedia:

"After being officially proposed, either by Congress or a national convention of the states, a constitutional amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the states."

Good luck!

She probably thinks this is a college in the great state "Electoral."

I never hear them complain when D's start right out of the gate usually with 242 Electoral Votes from the normally deep blue states.

They still can't seem to fathom just how bad a candidate Hillary really was.

She's a doe eyed moron.

 

[GOPerfect]

The more she speaks, the more stupid she becomes. And the better chance she has of losing!

Lose? Not an ice cubes chance in hell will she lose. Gotta remember who her constituency base is. Believe it or not she's likely smarter than they are! And THAT is scary.

She's the great white (kind of) dope.

Whoa.... I didn't say she was going to lose, just that the more she speaks, the better the other side has. Which I get, is slim. Her opponent is not even campaigning.

Years ago the man show (with current lefty hero Jimmy Kimmel) had a segment where women were asked to sign a petition to end "womens suffrage" (i.e. the right to vote). Because most of the people they talked to didn't know the difference between "suffering" and "suffrage" they of course were wholeheartedly behind the effort. It was good for a cheap laugh. I am willing to bet Ms. Ocasio-Cortez would fall for the same trick.

I don't know about you but the deer in my neighborhood understand basic economics.

But if they had won they'd be sending all of their kids to the "electoral college".

Alex Cortez will win the NY 14th because she is a racist representing white-hating racists, welcome to the New America.

this is the same bonehead that believes she will be "INAUGURATED" and she will be signing bills just days after her inauguration. She also has no idea what the hell she is talking about.

Democratic Socialist Ocasio-Cortez Asked What She’ll Do in Congress. Her Answer’s a Jumbled Mess.

“I think it needs to be eliminated,” she told CNN last month. “I’d like to see us move beyond it, yes.”

More socialist progressive drivel from the likes of those who pushed through the 17th amendment. In doing so, they removed states from representation in the federal government and made the U.S. Senate a near useless chamber by duplicating the House in a smaller form.

Socialism is great if you end up in the ruling class.

And what usually ended up happening to those "ruling classes"??
Don't think it will take 100+ years here.

In the case of Russia at least... they wind up back in charge.

It can go either way, look at N.Korea too. Socialist country run by a royal family.

Ms. Cortez is a visionary and one of the great minds of our time. Her wisdom goes far beyond the understanding of simpletons such as ourselves....... or not.

Both the Senate and the electoral college were compromises hammered out at the constitutional convention which prevent the "large states" from running rough shod over the "small states". That is just what the democrats want to be able to do. They want the "large states" i.e. California, New York etc. with their large population of voting illegals to totally control the rest of the country. (sort of like NYC liberals ruining the rest of NY State).

This is the very reason the Senate and the Electoral College exist. To prevent this. I'm not too worried about an amendment. This just shows the liberals would do anything for power.

I hope the liberals have another shock in November. Remember to Vote. I know, its is mostly a wast of effort in NY, but the NY Senate is in issue. I know they are about 90% worthless, but they are better than no check at all on the Democrats.

 

[Phazer]

The Liberal Progressives are trying to eliminate the electoral college through an end run around the constitution. They are trying to get states to award all of their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. Once states totaling more than 50% of the electoral college sign on to that idea, the electoral college is effectively abolished without a constitutional amendment.

Here's their site:
National Popular Vote

There’s some good ones, my state senator is/was defranscisco. He voted against the SAFE and I kept in contact with his office when Cuomo was pushing ERPO laws. He was a big part of those bills dying in committee in the Senate, and in one of responses to my emails stated that he agreed the laws are a threat to due process, and was blatantly opposed to it.
It seems his potential predecessor Bob Antonacci is seen as threat to this regard as I have been getting mailers from his democrat opponent claiming the NRA gives him money and he will be gun friendly. It’s ironic because the Dems sent that to me, an NRA member. Go figure.
However this really isn’t the time for purity tests. The senate is important. If a candidate isn’t pro gun enough primary them
