Maybe I'm not braining right or maybe he accidentally made a good point. Anyway, what would your response be?
Forgot to add this. This is the post of mine he was replying to:ok, big constitution guy like yourself understands what a republic is right? one person, one vote, and representation is determined proportionally. So, via proportional representation, it would follow that the half of the country living in 10% of the land area should have half of the voting representation, no? Because the electoral college is based on electors from senators and representatives for the state, there is no longer proportional representation due to each state getting 2 EVs for their senators, regardless of population. you also find rural districts that have significantly less voters than urban districts contain. So what you are using here is a false analogy, a common tool of propagandists and one of the primary logical fallacies used in political arguments. hope that clears things up for you.
Now, i'm all for letting the land have a vote, and i'm pretty sure mother earth would not be for strip mining and exploiting the resources in the most cost effective way possible regardless of the effects on other ecosystems. she's been clicking along pretty well on her own for a few hundred thousand years, she doesn't need humans fouling her to satisfy their greed, but what do i know, i'm just a stupid liberal who makes stuff up.
Should the tiny amount of blue be able to rule over all that grey? $#@! no. That would be insane. Sadly, the only reason it's being discussed is Hillary lost. If she would've won the left would have yet again been like "what's the electoral college?" If she would've won but with the map opposite and 90% blue and she lost the popular vote, the left would be laughing at the idea that 10% of the country should rule the other 90%. Instead of promoting that very idea like they are now.
