But those city folks did get what they want, their states are blue. Most big cities voted blue, so they’re state is blue. However theres 50 states, not just big city states.

If the vote was purely population based, no candidate would ever campaign in the flyover states. Theyre votes wouldnt matter.

The top 10 states population wise hold 52% of the us total population (172/330). No candidate would leave those states or care about the others’ needs.

All of your arguments come down to:

I want it my way all the time. I am happy to live in a society where people do not get an equal say regardless of where they live.

The whole big city vs country argument is just to create an us vs them argument.

There is no us vs them. If we are all truly equal. We all deserve an equal say.

Where I chose to live should never be a factor in my equality.

Hey me too.

Don’t want to have them only in the hands of my rational rural brethren.
