As we told you earlier, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to have lost her cool when dealing with Republicans who have been calling her out when she makes mistakes. Granted, she is in part pointing to the fuss some people made over her coat (this editor actually ignored that) but she’s ignoring the very real problem in that she doesn’t seem to understand the very basics of government.
Besides not knowing the three branches of government (eek, right?) she doesn’t seem to get why the Electoral College is important and how it works to protect everyone’s vote in this country.
Ah yes, God forbid a diverse, working-class district (that more accurately represents modern America) actually have equal say in our democracy as your weird uncle with questionable racial beliefs who shares fake conspiracy memes on Facebook. https://t.co/1W6aUzDX7l

Ah yes, God forbid … and what in the blue Hell is she talking about? Does she really think we believe she represents the working-class? C’mon.
And speaking of the working class, nice elitist dig at ‘uncles’.
Ocasio-Cortez isn’t working class. She’s part of the ascendant, college educated, metropolitan artistic-political class. The “weird uncle” in her tweet is working class. You can tell because of the disregard she holds him in. pic.twitter.com/g2dB599iQG

Only certain members of the working class matter though, duh.
And we know, we’ve already covered her today but goodness, her timeline is just so full of Twitchy goodness.
There was a time when advocates for the "working class" would dress in gray functional suits because they wanted to give the impression they could be off working at any moment.
Even at a discount they would *never* try to be fashionable.

She's a social climber who wants high social status. Her appeals to the "working class" are not just hollow but she very clearly has no interest in being *part* of any such class. Note that she didn't go to a SUNY, she went to a super-pricey out-of-state private university.

Truth hurts, Alexandria.
The term "democracy" is not found in any founding document or state constitution. That's due to the fact that we have a republic.

The electoral college provides a balance between federal and state governments. It allows all states to have a say in presidential elections, not just the ones with the highest populations. It’s sad that most people don’t understand the constitution.

Especially when those people are elected officials, right?!
Elitism at its finest. “Everyone deserves representation, except that guy. Or that chick over there. Or those people in the country.”
Sit down, child.

Crazy uncles across this country second this tweet.
