    My problem is that my vote has far less weight than someone in that state. Wasn’t that implied?

    Square miles of farmland shouldn’t have votes, people should.

        I know how the system works. I’m not disputing it. I’m saying the status quo is bad, not that it’s false.

        It’s not a popular vote. Never has been, and would be inappropriate to make it so. Basic civics.

        Pointing out it’s “basic civics” that that’s how it works currently, and using that to sneak in the huge claim that it’s also “basic civics” that a popular vote “would be inappropriate”. If that was intentional, it was clever.

        The house of representatives is unjust in its uneven, disproportionate, and meager representation. Is that what you wanted to hear?
