> people living in big cities think they should be able to better dictate law as they often view poor rural people and their lives with contempt.
Or they want to live in a democracy where every single person is represented equally to every single other person. And not a system where some people are "more equal" to others.
That's not even getting into how this weirdly, strangely seems to align up with a history of slavery and racism in the US. Total coincidence that some people think it's fair those "urban people" get 3/5 of a vote compared to them, the enlightened farmers who need to save others from themselves.
And before you say "well the house and electoral college are proportional" - no, they absolutely are not since 1929. Try that talking point when the apportionment act is repealed.
Nor are districts even conceivably "local" anymore for those arguing about "personal governance".
