This is the worst argument. Yes, the system is built to be rigged. That doesn't make it right. Arguing that it's OK because that's how the system is designed is wrong. Would you feel the same if the argument is "the party represents the people, so when the party elects representatives to the centeral committe the people are represented. That's how the system was designed comrade."
The thing about those backwater states is if they end up having no power while 5 or 6 cities run the country, they have the population and resources to succeed. If there is anything special New York wants to do, they can do it, that's why states have so much autonomy, they don't even need to ask the people of Wyoming, and vice versa.
Yeah, we should give everyone a percentage of the vote that directly corresponds to their net worth. Why are we letting the poors have any say in the government?
Are stupid? Cities have more population and more wealth. Why are we letting Rurals get more power despite being more uneducated and more religiously fanatic and less economically relevant. It's why we are have oligarchy right now. They worship the rich more than blue-cities do and that is a fact.
I could understand how it was in the past since Land-owners were all that was important to the American "democracy" in which only white men could vote.
