I’m beyond fed up with this arrogant, petulant and stupid child. She needs to be ended.

AOC is too stupid to be an idiot.

*****There is nothing in the Constitution that says the “people select the president.”

“People vote to select electors” who promise to vote for a certain candidate.*****

Bingo.

“...she [AOC] DOES understand it, and how it helps prevent the tyranny she seeks to impose, that [is why] she wants it abolished.”

Exactly

“crazy [dumb] like a fox”

She’s highly programmed.

She very well may be stupid, but her programming is shining trough

She bears watching closely, many shamed people do.

She absolutely knows what she’s doing. She’s a good little soldier of the lefty commies. They are actively trying to break down the fiber of our constitution.****

Yup

If she was a Patriotic Conservative she would be quite attractive.

But her dark soul, given over to the Father of Lies, makes her completely physically unattractive.

What we are inside reveals itself in our physical appearance.

A good way to understand the importance of the electoral college, is to think from the perspective of the former colonies and territories that were considering becoming states in the early days of the Republic.

Why would people from low-density rural and wilderness territories want to have their interests constantly outvoted by people from high population urban centers?

They wouldn’t, of course, which is why their delegates insisted on mechanisms such as the electoral college and the 2 senator per state rule, as preconditions of ratification.

There is no doubt that ratification would have failed without the electoral college and other mechanisms that help prevent unchecked democracy, which the founders and delegates viewed as “tyranny of the majority”.

The American Revolutionaries didn’t throw off British tyranny only to submit to self imposed tyranny.

This breed of young Social Democrats is either mind-bogglingly ignorant, wantonly dishonest, or just plain evil.

I suspect it is mostly dishonesty that explains their being so far off the mark on issue after issue. Probably, they know none of their ideas will work - they just advocate the exact opposite of whatever the Republicans advocate and lie, lie, lie. Even to their own constituents!

It is incredible what passes for statesmanship, journalism and social justice these days. These Democrats will literally say and do anything.

Look at my old home....just downstate from Chicago. Chi-town runs and ruins the state. Ditto St. Louis/KC for Mizzou. It’d be the same all over without the EC

She’s lost her handler and brain, Chakrabarti, and has since been noticeably off the mark as this incident demonstrates. Agree though, they were potentially dangerous, putting a pretty face on fascism.

Her handlers should be investigated, though. I’m sure there’s a Soros wanna be somewhere back there

There is / was. Saikat Chakrabarti quit after investigations found improper use of campaign funds. Not sure if he's yet indicted. His Brand New Congress auditioned and selected AOC for NYC's CD-14. He's now running a similar PAC.

They keep ignoring that we are a representative republic not a democracy.

It’s very simple.

They clearly didn’t want a democracy and have us ruled by the “mob.”
