And how the Fvck does she plan on bypassing the constitution?
2/3 of the states would have to vote yes for Pocohontas' Electoral plan. I just don't see Arkansas and West Virginia giving up their decision making to Gay Bay, L A, Chicago, Boston and NYC.
Is Pocohontas as stupid as she tries to convince us or does she believe we're as stupid as AOC, Maxine, Sheila, Hank and you know who?

Great soundbite, by a total buffoon. A sop to the "Hillary should be president crowd" maybe. Both houses will have to approve with 2/3 vote and then the state legislatures will have to approve on a 3/4 vote (peoples vote really). Zero chance this will happen unless the only states voting are CA, OR, WA & NY.
Baffling how this women can function in the real world. Points out a wider problem in that she probably believes she can actually just change the constitution without knowing how it is actually done.
Still pulling for her to be the nominee though.......
she thinks that you only need 1/1024th of the vote to make it real
It’s embarrassing that she’s from Oklahoma.
overturning the EC is impossible legally. If by any other means, it is the only thing that would guarantee violent conflict.

I believe I read 288 attempts have been made to overturn the EC. None have gotten off the ground. Amazing to me is stiffs such as Pocohontas and the smartest woman in the world even hinting at such.
The smartest woman in the world failed the DC bar. Those I know trained in law tell me everyone passes the DC bar. As I recall, she passed the Arkansas bar. If I thought it was all so important, I'd look it up. When I have time, I may just do so.

Biden can't raise money. Africans won't go for Buttkick. Pocohontas looks like the one at this point.
Pocohontas promises economic stagnation, rationed health care and higher crime rates. Unless our economy falls off the cliff, Trump should make a bigger fool of Pocohontas than he did with the smartest woman in the world.

Um no, not everyone passes the DC bar. The passage rate in July 2018 was 67%. One needs a 266 on the UBE for DC. 260 or higher though is good enough in five other states. Of course when she took the DC bar, it wasn't the UBE.
Many intelligent people (and damn good lawyers) have failed the bar exam the first time they took it.
Amen Warren! Getting rid of the electoral college is way past due.
Let the American people elect their President. One person, one vote.

You can poop in one hand and wish in the other, only to find your holding a handful of poop. No way in hell will 3/4 of the states vote to overturn the EC.
Warren only needs to get the Constitution amended to get rid of the EC. Should be easy... lol.

Should rural and small-town Americans be reduced to serfdom? The American Founders didn’t think so. This is one reason why they created checks and balances, including the Electoral College. Today that system is threatened by a proposal called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, or NPV.

Because I believe in representative democracy. I don't believe a flawed system created by elites to protect the interest of slaveholding states should elect our President. The American people should. Just as they elect all their other representatives. One person, one vote.
We amended the Constitution to provide for direct election of Senators in 1913. It is now time to extend that to the President as well.
They will eventually. The electoral college's days are numbered. It will eventually find its way to the ash heap of history.
Not to mention that the national popular vote interstate compact is now up to 72.6% of the 270 votes needed.
Thanks for the "opinion" piece. Now take a moment, and watch this video filled with facts:
But that doesn’t get rid of the electoral college. It just changes the way some states choose to select their electors. I’m okay with that if that’s what they want to do.
I think it’s dumb and would look to see if Oklahoma would like to leave the union if it ever happens.
Odd, since the Electoral College was favored by and supported by northern states to ensure that the slaveholding states (which included Maryland and Delaware) could not dominate elections.
Ssshhhhhhhhh. He's on a roll. Next he's going to tell us about when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
lol, talk about revisionist history. You going to tell us next that the Civil War really wasn't about slavery?
Without the electoral college and the three-fifths clause, the northern states would have dominated a direct election system. Clearly those who compromised didn't catch on to what the Southerners were up to till it was too late. But after 1796 and especially 1800, they sure realized it. At least the Federalists did.
Be careful what you wish for. Everything you liberals do comes back to bite you in the ass. After the population gets a first account of the socialist policies you liberals want that pendulum will swing and you will find yourself on the wrong end.
The EC was put in place to avoid exactly what you want. One party having absolute control of the country.
That isn't what I want and I don't know of any other liberal who advocates for such nonsense. And it also isn't why the Electoral College was put in place.
I personally would prefer more than just two major political parties. I support ballot access for third party candidates.
And btw, if a Republican President is elected by winning the popular vote, then so be it! The people would have spoken. That is democracy.
You might want to go back and read some history. The EC was put in place exactly for the reason you want, majority rule. We do not live in a straight Democracy, we live in a Republic for a reason.
Hahahaha, I never advertised it as anything other than an opinion piece. Can’t say the same for you in the first sentence of yore video.
Hint: Look up “Constitutional Republic”.
Yes, our form of government is a republic and not a monarchy. But within our constitutional republic, we embrace democracy, representative democracy. We democratically elect our leaders by popular vote. And we should extend this to the President just as we did to US Senators in 1913.
Why are you so worried about letting the American people directly elect their President?
Some of you are so predictable and so misguided.
Will you ever allow yourself to wise up?

So now we are doing opinion pieces?
Well it seems to be what you want lol.
But it isn't an opinion that we are both a constitutional republic and a representative democracy. That is simply a fact.
Actually based on being from Oklahoma I have to say intellectually she fits in quite well with the politicians.
Not worried in the least because I know that the states not full of people suffering from the mental illness of liberalism will never allow it to happen.
As to the 17th amendment it needs to be repealed. Before the passing of the 17th amendment Senators took their orders from each state's legislature. After the passing each Senator takes orders from the highest bidder which has led to more and more corruption.
What is true then? In 1787, did the slave states want none of their slaves counted toward their population and the northern states want all of the slaves counted?
What is true that a system based on popular vote was unacceptable to slave states because most of their people weren't allowed to vote.
