Disgruntled Democrats Want A Constitutional Convention To Leave The Union
Claim They Are Three States Away
Claim They Are Three States Away
quote:
On Tuesday, disgruntled Democrats held a forum to discuss the possibility of replacing the Electoral College.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) conceded that Democrats could not get rid of the Electoral College due to the way the United States Constitution is written.
“I don’t think we can sustain our American democracy by having the majority ruled by the minority. And so the question is how to fix this since the Constitution is written in such a way that it’s almost impossible to amend,” Lofgren said.
Lofgren went on to say she is open to a Constitutional Convention, “We are three states away from calling for a Constitutional Convention. It’s something I’ve always been opposed to, …. But I’ll say because, for the second time in sixteen years, people the American voters elected did not become president. Rational people, not the fringe, are now talking about whether states could be separated from the U.S., whether we should have a Constitutional Convention. And I think as time goes on that is apt to become more the case unless we here can figure an answer to preventing the majority from being ruled by the minority.

Let them leave.

They have it backwards when they say the Majority ruled by the minority. If we went to popular vote, 5 states would elect the president

Conservatives have been working on a convention of states for about 5 years.

She got like 2 million more votes, that's nothing.
That's basically Queens, NY.

HAHA
They would not be happy with the result.
It is the conservative peoples who would benefit from an Article 5 convention.
The Libtards would lose their minds after the constitution got rewritten to re-establish the original intent, and their 100+ years of chipping away at our freedom would disappear.

Texas gets to be a country again.
The Pacific coast gets to be eco-topian.
