You trumpers who keep pointing out the voting pattern by counties map for our elections? Need to wake up. ?
There are over 3000 counties in the US. Out of those 3000+ counties, one third of our total population lives in 50 of those 3000+ counties. The 100 least populated counties don’t even add up to 1 million residents. So looking at a map of how the counties voted in an election is just wanking material for idiots who haven’t a clue. How does it work in your tiny little pea brains that the votes in a county with only 100 residents should cary the same weight as a county with over 1 million residents?
Well susie, the 1000 least populated counties have less than one fifth of our population. Should they get one third of the voting power in our country? Aside from the fact that most of those people don’t have a high school education. And most will never contribute anything to the GDP. Why do think little counties should get a bigger say in our elections than their population warrants?

Obviously, when regressives mean America supports them, they mean the land area, not actual people.

Susie, I don't know if it's your history or your math that is off, but:
1) Every person gets one vote so every person has the same voice (or should have the same voice) regardless of where they live. Why should the voice of a person in a rural community have ten times the weight of a person who lives in an urban community;
2) no one urban area is large enough to control what happens in the country. To get to 50% of the population takes about 10 states and that is assuming that the vote in those states was unanimous.
3) is it any fairer that the 3 wolves get to decide what is for dinner over the objection of 100 sheep because each of the wolves has their own lair and the sheep have to share one pen. The way that you protect the sheep from being abused by the wolves or the wolves from being abused by the sheep is not through allowing the minority to have power over the majority but by creating limits (i.e. rights) that the majority can't take away from the minority.

So you’re saying that only the people in populous areas should have control over all of the areas and not give those in less populous areas ANY voice. So you think it’s fair for two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner???
