Cortez: A governmentally-ignorant politician being chosen by the governmentally ignorant.
"In the fall of 2012, I excitedly began my senior year government class. I was about to sit through a course on our system of government while also watching it play out right before my eyes on its biggest stage during the 2012 election. Much to my chagrin, nobody else seemed even remotely as thrilled. Throughout the next five months, blank stares and snores engulfed the classroom with unmistakable indifference. In those moments, it hit me just how far we had fallen.
"Recently, I was struck by a similar feeling. I came across yet another condemnation of our system of representative government on Twitter. Waleed Shahid, a former advisor to New York Congressional Candidate and Democratic Socialist heartthrob Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, said the Senate is not democratic enough because less populous states receive the same representation as high-population states. But this is the very point of the Senate. Without equal representation in one house of Congress, large states would be able to run roughshod over smaller states. Yet this fact is continually ignored by civically-illiterate citizens eager to support their points of frustration against Trump’s agenda." . . .
The 12th Amendment of the Constitution established the Electoral College
Democrats made a tremendous effort to contact electors in 2016 and ask them to change their vote from Trump to Clinton. To her shame, she did not stand up for Constitutional government.
Put another way, without the Electoral College, the states in blue would have made Clinton our president.
Candidates would likely not have even campaigned in the states shown as red. (I hate saying "red states" since they are Republican). Red has always been the color of the Communist Party and was the color of the Soviet flag being waved outside the White House during Obama's inauguration. The Tunnel Dweller
