And here is some more pearls of wisdom from the fake Latino, Robert (Pendejo) Beto O’Rourke.
Robert (Beto) O’Rourke: Electoral College is just like slavery |
---|
“Let’s abolish the Electoral College,” O’Rourke told the audience in response to question about gerrymandering and the popular vote. The event was hosted by organized labor and prominent liberal groups like the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and the Center for Popular Democracy Action, a dark money group funded in part by George Soros.
O’Rourke justified his call for eliminating the Electoral College by comparing the institution to slavery.
“This is one of those bad compromises we made at day one in this country,” he said. “There are many others we can think of and they are all connected, including the value of some people based on the color of their skin. There is a legacy and a series of consequences that have persisted and remain with us to this day.”
“In this conversation about how we repair the damage, how we make things right, and how we keep from committing the same injustice going forward is squarely connected to the reason that we are all convened here today and that is fixing our democracy,” O’Rourke continued. “So yes, if we get rid of the Electoral College, we get a little bit closer to one person, one vote in the United States of America.”
