You're acting as if there is cohesive urban interest in all cities nationwide while all rural areas are diverse and hold different values. Every person everywhere, no matter their values would have exactly one vote just like everyone else. Everyone would vote and then we would just see what happens. Given the diversity of America, I imagine you would need runoffs to reach a satisfactory majority. I still think you're having trouble thinking in a context outside of the current American system. I think it's an easier system to manipulate than the EC. I feel like I'm dramatically more cynical when it comes to my view of politicians and it makes me worried that trying it out would be wildly irresponsible. --- PSN: Jiek <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:931680891] in Impeaching...
