    Now 1 person 1 vote isn’t equal? Democracy is everyone has the right to state their preferences and be treated equally. That sometimes more people want the other thing isn’t a flaw in the system and in no way a justification to just give some people more votes. A tyranny of the majority is a whole lot better than a tyranny of the minority.

    I swear there must be some kind of rural state indoctrination camp where people learn that 1 person 1 vote is actually bad and they’re rightfully entitled to more say than those dirty city-dwellers. All while talking about the minority rights carefully crafted by the slaveholding men who literally transferred votes from the slaves to their oppressors.
