BORN has nothing to do with it. Where you LIVE determines where your vote counts.

And I highly doubt you've read the Constitution more times than I have.

What we have in this country isn't minority rule, it's basic fairness. If you want to live in a different country you're free to lobby for a Constitutional Convention and/or move to a country with a political system that matches your idea of what a government should look like.

I'm fine with the system as it is. That's MY vote. And I live in a solidly blue state where MY vote doesn't even come close to moving the needle.

And with all due respect, the feeling is mutual.

Oh, great. We just have to lobby for the people privileged with extra political power by the current system to voluntarily give up the extra power that they are given. That sounds like a very workable plan.

It will probably work about as well as it worked when Americans in 1776 asked the people with geographical-based privilege in their political system to voluntarily give it up.
