5) The Electoral College isn’t about fairness at all; it’s about empowering some voters over others. Every vote should be = in America, no matter who you are or where you come from. The right thing to do is establish a Popular Vote. & GOP will do everything they can to fight it. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

4) We do not give electoral affirmative action to any other group in America. Do Black Americans have their votes count more bc they have been disenfranchised for 100s of years? Do Reservations get an electoral vote? Does Puerto Rico and US territories get them? No. They don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

3) LASTLY, this concept that the Electoral College is provides “fairness” to rural Americans over coastal states doesn’t hold any water whatsoever. First of all, virtually every state has rural communities. NY. California. Much of our states are rural. But very importantly... — PolitiTweet.org

2) This common claim about “if we don’t have the Electoral College then a handful of states will determine the presidency” is BS. a. It’s the *EC itself* that breaks down power by state, pop vote decentralizes it b. The EC makes it so a handful of states DO determine elections — PolitiTweet.org

I see Fox News is big mad about abolishing the electoral college. So let’s talk about it. 1) If the GOP were the “silent majority” they claim, they wouldn’t be so scared of a popular vote. They *know* they aren’t the majority. They rely on establishing minority rule for power. — PolitiTweet.org

Folks may want to read extra deep into this, but I say this simply to acknowledge the courage it takes to make a statement like this. From Warren to Castro to Bernie & others, we are lucky to have the leadership bench we have right now. We should praise all their great moments! — PolitiTweet.org

One thing that is completely undeniable about Bernie Sanders is the enormous political courage he consistently wields on behalf of others. This statement is a big deal. He’s not just standing up for two members - he’s standing for the integrity of the entire US Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Netanyahu’s discriminatory decision to ban members of Congress from Israel harms int’l diplomacy. Visiting Israel & Palestine are key experiences towards a path to peace. Sadly, I cannot move forward w scheduling any visits to Israel until all members of Congress are allowed. — PolitiTweet.org

MoC are frequently asked to visit Israel to “see things for ourselves.” But Netanyahu choosing to ban the only 2 Muslim women in Congress from entering tells the US that only *some* Americans are welcome to Israel, not all. Trump is exporting his bigotry &making matters worse. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s clear that Rep. King must resign, but as Sen. Schatz points out, King’s endorsement is valued in the Republican Party. He can resign, but his views clearly resonate with the GOP. https://t.co/4wF4WtSK3M — PolitiTweet.org

King’s comment is rooted in the belief that rape is a legitimate form of sex, as is sex that’s forced or coerced through subjugation & control. It’s relevant that King says this while defending his anti-choice bill restricting abortion, which seeks to control anyone w/ a uterus. — PolitiTweet.org

@ODonnell4NH 1. This is false. You must meet ALL of Lilly’s requirements. Making <$50k is one of many. 2. Why should a corporation’s sense of charity determine whether you live or die? 3.
