66. Your argument really obscures the power that your visions of equal representation in the Senate and guarantee of 1

congress critt er confers.

If you put 10 moslty homogenous mega cities in charge of US presidential elections you are going to end up not incorporating the nations diversity into the process.

The regions of our country have diverse economies, often unlike big cities, and often varying across a very large landscape. Some regions have water surplus, some are water scarce, some areas have mineral wealth and others do not, some places are embedded in the struggle to produce food for cities (for which the produces shoulder huge annual risk and very thin margins above cost). Every region produces children. Many regions will never produce needed number of jobs to employ those kids, EVER. And the problems for those familes is really not the same in rural vs urban areas. Opportunity isn't equally distributed across America. It never will be, because opportunity not only follows wealth but it frequently leads it.

These variances, and the possibility of government led solutions to these variances in economic strength result in political problems to be solved, hopefully fairly. On a national level that means having presidents, and their administrations, that are knowledgeable and interested in finding fair solutions. President with only interest in cities, and administrations that follow that lead will perpetuate and exacerbate unequal representation of all in government.
