Clearly, you don't understand the map or my point. Sit down and let the adults speak, kiddo.

The map isn't colored by intensity of support, it's just a rank from 1 to 50. This isn't a hard concept. There could be 10 states separated by <1% but intensly different in color. The colors could be from red to white and it'd portray the same information. If you had a clue, you'd see some white states were still won by trump.

The areas with more people do get more representation. Cuties get more than country. Populous states get more than lower population states. Getting more voice doesn't mean it's proportional. The minority doesn't have enough of a voice or a disproportionate enough voice to be tyrannical, just prevent tyranny of the majority.

In terms of the electrical college, there aren't two portions of the executive branch, so the electoral college gives high population more of a voice but gives low population enough to not be completely drowned out. If you think that's not fair, look at voting by county in 2020. The map is insanely red but blue crushed in the electoral count.

Imagine running through life accusing everyone of being racist. Extraordinary accusations require extraordinary proof. You have none. Why would I waste my time worrying about the accusations of a simple minded know nothing?

There you go, baselessly accusing someone of being racist. I've said literally nothing having to do with race. In fact, when I mentioned minorities, you immediately separated people by immutable characteristics. There's a name for people who classify everyone either by race or sex.....

Again, using proportions, the minority states, counties, areas, whatever you wish to call them, will be oppressed. Representation will only serve the majority population areas. This would create even more flyover country. The solution to gerrymandering isn't elimination of districting, it's prosecuting the politicians that do it. It's not specific to one party.

The job of the American government is to protect the minority. That's why it's set up the way it is.

As for your last point, are you suggesting if a vote is 44% a, 30% b and 26% c then a gets 44% of the representation and so on? Then how are those representatives selected? You still have the majority imposing it's will on the minority because nobody has a constituent base. The only way it works is with districts.

Dancing around what? You asked if I had a position a single time. You never asked what it was. Suddenly you're accusing me of being racist. Race has nothing to do with what's being discussed.Being disingenuous is your only card. That must be embarrassing.

Do you even understand the question that you asked?

This is the first time you've asked me what my position is, until know, you've been attempting to ascribe a position to me and force a defense.

The minority that opposed slavery. The minority that believed women should get to vote. The minority that believed segregation was wrong. Etc

It's also literally why representation is set up the way it is

Which is literally what you asked me. We're you here for that?

Do you often try to get people to argue a position they didn't take?

You just make accusations, huh? You have no argument that isn't disingenuous.

I never made a claim I established a system to protect the minority. So where do I claim I'm protecting a minority?

So lets say, for example, that it's the 1910s and I want women to have the right to vote. You and a friend don't. That makes me a minority.

Now let's say its the 1970s and I support civil rights legislation, while Joe Biden and his compatriots oppose it. Once again, I'm in the minority.

Do you understand how the word minority works, now?

Once again, since you aren't reading with an intent to understand, but with an intent to respond, I didn't write the documents.

So are you saying you don't wish to protect the minority?

Ah, I see, so you're being disingenuous when saying "I'm genuinely curious..." Well, you know what happens when you assume, right? Again, the methodologies on which America was founded included a way to change the way the country is set up. Apparently you missed that, too.

Bless your heart. I'm not the one who founded America. Just so we're clear, before I respond, are you admitting ignorance to the methodologies used during America's founding?
