Americans mostly back dumping the electoral college, i don't [View all]

Something around 10 percent of Americans live it it's 10 largest cities

Something like 70% of Americans live in its 10 largest megalopoli

And somewhat less than 3 percent of Americans live in Americans 10 smallest states ( and 10 states is 1/5 or 20 percent of the states)

Dumping the electoral college shifts democracy would great shift the influences of cities and metro-megalopoli. which are remarkably homogeneous with respect to the problems they face.

I don't dislike democracy, but I think the notion of a REPRESENTATIVE government must somehow capture the diversity of different life experience that having a huge country with different environmental and geoeconomic issues that aren't captured within the boundaries of giant populations centers

Cities and suburbs DO NOT have economies largely built on harvesting and extracting resources to be sent to population centers for processing and consumption.

We need some sort of "minimum" representation for these low population areas so that their economies (that national life depends upon) are represented in government.

I know I know city centered elections would be GREAT for dems. I am not so sure they would preserve the many ag and resource industry jobs that make that wing of the American economy work
