This is what happened if you put nuts as leaders

Idiot

Can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with ACC.

Great idea

It’s simple your a

SL1733 Ignore the absurd.

Only the Dems can produce a Numskull like Coetzee

You need to sit back and relax for a bit until you get your feet wet in politics.

She may be in touch with her local voter, but she going to be like the Tea Party. To far in one direction. We don’t need a holiday for elections. We just need to go to a mail-in ballet for everyone that’s eligible.

Another stupid idea. Anyone who wants to vote can vote now. This is a just another attempt to get lazy voters to vote. Those who give a damn will vote.

Don't worry about it now. Once her socialist ideology is implemented, every day will be a holiday.🤔

Someone tell her everyone doesn’t get that holiday only banks and government employees.

That's a cool idea.

She's not wrong. Elections need to be a holiday so everyone can vote or mail-in or equivalent to optimize participation. Democracy is the cornerstone of a fee society. You don't have freedom without a democracy.

AMErikaNGIRL07 How did she get elected. Better check those voting machines!!

Trump and Bernie (& Alexandria) supporters come from the same gene pool. Both are radical and incapable of reason or logic. Both distort truth and history and reality.

doc_tdg AOC wants to control all three Chambers of Congress.... Wait Chambers of Government, that's it all three Chambers of Government.

AMErikaNGIRL07 Everyone’s allowed to leave work to vote! And how about the weeks of early voting.

Election Day should be a national holiday, so every eligible citizen can cast their vote. I support that idea 100%. 🇺🇸

AMErikaNGIRL07 Wait are there elections every year or is this another stupid comment she’s making

Christopher Columbus was a war criminal. Nothing else.

How about we compromise and make Columbus Day election day, That way we don’t alienate anybody. Democracy is not that hard. :)

I agree. The mythological Columbus needs to go away. Making federal voting mandatory, vote by mail, automatically ready to vote when you turn 18. Done. Forget the holiday, polls and lines.

I agree 🇺🇸✌🏼

She is the trump on the left. She’s going to be fun to watch in Congress. The righties and trumpdics are going lose their sh*t over her.

Yes please

Totally OK with that!

Great idea!!!

Election Day should be a national holiday. Not sure it needs to replace any existing.

Trading one celebration of misery for another? No thanks.

Just make it a Saturday, you dim-bulb.

You mean replace celebration of a bloodthirsty genocidal brute with an opportunity for all Americans to vote? Hm, can't imagine the Right is going to like this.
