The youngest Congresswoman in US history Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez invited the Americans to replace Columbus Day with a new holiday dedicated to the topic of elections and democracy. In her opinion, most people in the United States of America negative attitude to the praise of a man who was involved in the murder and enslavement of the indigenous population.
Initially the idea of so-called elections Day was announced by the Senator from Vermont Bernie Sandres. According to him, the initiative is able to improve the dynamics of development of democratic processes within the state. The politician is sure that every American must have the opportunity to vote in the elections and the best way to ensure attendance is to make this day a national holiday.
As expected, his idea was supported and developed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Senator from Vermont has actively supported the newly minted Congresswoman for the formation of her political career. Largely thanks to him, a woman held a post in the House of representatives. However, it shares the opinion of Sanders, regarding the need to make election Day a national holiday, but also offers to replace them with celebrations in honor of Christopher Coloboma.
Through such actions Ocasio-Cortez intends to maintain a balance between the number of working days and weekends. Her idea was immediately criticized by the Republican party, which first said the Congresswoman, without having to go to work, wants to take care of the vacation, and when I heard the proposal of the Day Colubmia, accused the woman in the substitution of historical values.
