    I’m not saying ignore the rural areas in the rural people

    But you are. That’s exactly what will happen. Urban voters will enact policies that work well in cities but are disastrous in rural areas. And they won’t give a crap about the rural people who end up suffering and have little or no representation in government.

    I’m just saying that they are second class and should be treated as second class, for good reason.

    Perhaps we should codify that into law. Say, only give rural voters 3/5 of a vote? Jokes aside, I think this attitude is downright un-American. I don’t think you should be first or second class based on where you live or what color your skin is. I have political views that I think are correct, but so do you and so does everybody else and the whole point of our system is we all get a seat at the table. The Framers of our Constitution made the system the way it is so that rural voters wouldn’t lose their seat at the table. And I have seen nothing to believe that any modern politician is even a little bit smarter than them.
