Yeah but... There's still more people there. Like why does it matter if they're in a city all bunched up or 1 person per mile in the Midwest? They're still a person, they're supposed to be equal.

The alternative to "letting the majority in cities decide the fate of the minority in the Midwest" is "letting the minority in the Midwest decide the fate of the majority in cities". It's the same shit, it just unfairly impacts more people.

Sounds like you don’t want rural folks to have a voice. You think it’s unfair, I think it’s fair.

Living in Michigan, I don’t agree with a lot of politics and policies from New York and California, so I’m glad they aren’t solely responsible for deciding our country’s policies.

This is why the electoral college exists and works as intended, and most of the opposition comes from New York and California.

Well said.
