Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: We must 'eliminate the Electoral College'

[Mosinitis]

The problem is evident in this thread. Where people know how they are being screwed and they are willing to play along.

I think your reading more into this than necessary. We all know we are being screwed, but "playing along"??? do you mean by staying in New Yorkistan or unwilling to do anything about it

Im playing along, I admit it. Because I no longer care one way or the other, In a couple years, we are leaving, period. Even if this attitude migrates to other states we are going ot be mobile, we will be able to go where ever we want.

You obviously enjoy arguing with people, so you are in the perfect state for that. Enjoy!

Does congress have the authority to rid the electoral college?

You are playing along by reacting to political BS that doesn't effect you in any way, while helping people who are playing you and playing politics at your expense. Enjoy being a doormat.

This is what makes your blood boil? This is worse than being stabbed in the back by NY GOP? After they stabbed us in the back with SAFE, I don't give a fuck. I am not going to tow the line for these cocksuckers. I hate them more now then any leftist dimwit.

Confused between fed and state ??

Nope. There are 3 ways to try to have the densely populated East Coast and West Coast progressive media centers make the Presidential election a pure ideological reflection of the House (in spite of the controls incorporated by our Republic's founders) where a handful of densely populated states can impose their will on the rest of the nation, essentially changing our country from a Constitutional Republic to a Democracy which historically is eventually doomed to mob rule or a violent autocracy.

1) Abolishing the Electoral College through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution — which would need a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate, and then it would have to be ratified by 38 states.

2) Ammend the Constitution through an Article V Constitutional convention “on the application of the legislatures” of two-thirds of the states, Congress “shall call a convention for proposing amendments,” the amendments being subject to ratification by three-fourths of the states.

3) To subvert the Constitution some progressive States have signed the National Popular Vote interstate compact where states will cast all their electoral votes for a national popular vote winner, regardless of how their citizens voted.

It should be noted that progressives pushing to eliminate the electoral college via method 1 or 2 call for similarly eliminating the second ammendment the same way.

Who would be better than her and electable in her district? How did she change things for the worse? Why attention is diverted to this inane BS?
