    Repeal Article One and the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution and that would matter. Completely facile talking point - I hope it makes you feel better, though. Maybe you can convince Soros and Steyer to finance a massive migration of urbanites to less populated but equally represented areas of the country.

    Basic political science, you cannot govern a democracy if the majority of the people located in large cities tyrannize the rest of the population. This is why our wise founding fathers created the EC system and also had a dual chamber Congress at the federal level.

    Pleasing slave states was a part of it as well.

    80 million Democrats could have voted in their districts and it wouldn't have changed a thing in the House or the Senate. Deal with that reality. You have to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters. Moderation for both political parties would go a long way.
