Ok, let’s try and understand the latest “racist” thing from the crazy New York bartender. The electoral college according to Ocasio-Cortez is racist and a scam because it weighs white votes over voters of color or something. Someone needs to get the crazy bartender to explain then how Democrat automatically start off with a huge EC advantage without even having to campaign in states like California, New York, Illinois, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon and Colorado. Is it because of more weight of white voters in those states that helps Democrats?

First-term Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is calling for the U.S. to abolish the Electoral College, saying that the voting system is a “scam” that negatively impacts minorities.
Ocasio-Cortez made her argument on Monday in an Instagram story that includes her driving along a deserted highway and quipping, “many votes here, as you can see.”
“Very efficient way to choose leadership of the country. I mean I can’t think of any other way, can you?” Ocasio-Cortez says, before going on to cite a report from New York Magazine that argues the defenses of the system that determines the winner of presidential elections are flawed.
The freshman lawmaker said the Electoral College is a “scam” that has a “racial injustice breakdown” undermining the votes of people of color.
“Due to severe racial disparities in certain states, the Electoral College effectively weighs white voters over voters of color, as apposed to a ‘one person, one vote’ system where all our votes are counted equally,” she says, before pushing back against the argument that eliminating the Electoral College would give big states too much power.
