I know I've already used this one today, but it still fits.

Yes.

It wouldn't be indirect if I confirmed or denied.

What aren't you getting? Ignoring people who aren't part of the majority will only lead to them taking violent recourse or, more likely, they'll join the majority and put more strain in cities while also depriving the nation of their skill sets and experiences. Either way the Union is weaker, less diverse, and less adaptable. It isn't sustainable.

Jews and Christians used to do the same shit terrorists due today, Hindus and Buddhists both have attempted to wipe out entire cultures in the name of their religion.

Legislation that's good for cities may not be good for farmers, hunters, or anyone else that doesn't live in a city. Giving legislative/judicial/executive powers to the majority will force everyone else to play by rules that may hinder or even harm them while simultaneously ignoring any help or services that they need.

@third Once again you reach a new level of idiocy. Christianity has moved beyond burning little girls and nailing heretics to crosses. The same is true of Hinduism, Buddhism, and pretty much all religions except for Islam. Secondly, white culture hasn't done anything worse than black, brown, yellow, or red cultures. Claiming otherwise only displays a seemingly intentional ignorance of history and of current events.

They have needs and rights too. They are outnumbered, and a direct democracy will not be able to meet rural needs or maintain their rights. That isn't sustainable.

Muslims have been catching flak for a long time before Trump was around.

That's even worse

I don't want anything to do with a pure democracy. Societies need rule of law above all else.
America never was a democracy, this is a republic where rule of law reigns.

That's not what I'm saying at all. If you are only here to put words in my mouth, or make a straw man of me, then I have nothing else to say.

The majority are just as fallible as any other denomination.

I want a system where all parts of the republic have an equal say. That isn't possible, so having an electoral college is the next best thing.

I will never support a system where 51% can rule over 49%. No matter who is what side.
