@Builder,
When the country was founded, it was 90% rural and 10% urban. Now those proportions are pretty much reversed, 10% rural and 90% urban. Small and underpoppulated states already are disproportionately represented in the senate. Why should the office of the president, who represents EVERYBO DY be dominated by the the small minority as well? One person, one vote. And equating democracy with mob rule is an absurdly simplistic, FLATLY WRONG, loopy right wing meme. We live in what is more or less a representative, constitutional democracy. Everybody can vote (NOW--it took us two centuries and more to get there, everybody is guaranteed rights. The trouble is The loudest most intoleratn people subvert the will of the people as determined by the popular vote. What ww are about to be living in is Trumpism, and thatr's the real mob rule, not democracy.
