Should Rural Votes be Weighted Against Urban Votes?

[San Lumen]

You honestly believe you could start a revolution and institute a coup to overthrow the democratically elected government of your state? How would you achieve this fantasy?

No, I honestly believe I could just make life miserable for the government.

By doing what exactly?

[Ors Might]

Good. That’s what correcting power imbalances entails.

Why should place of residence give your vote more power?

Why should the color of your skin give you legal protections? Power imbalances. Like it or not, urban and rural communities are two important voting blocs in the US. They have different and sometimes opposing needs. Why should one be neglected because its smaller than the other?

[Napkiraly]

People are saying they want balance not everything tilted towards rural areas. Jesus fucking Christ, learn to read.

And a upper house based on land area creates a unfair advantage.

Yes, that is the point. The point is to keep in check those areas. It's called balancing against the majority.

[Kubra]

Not in the senate.

That is neither fair nor democratic.

Fairness and democracy relies on compromising with minorities, especially the most significant one. I fail to see what the problem is.

So as in the case of Nevada 75 percent of the population which is in Clark County should be overridden by a few small communities in the desert?

[Telconi]

No, I honestly believe I could just make life miserable for the government.

By doing what exactly?

Cutting power lines, water lines, sewers, etc. Basic vandalism of the state's infrastructure all the way up to armed resistance.

"Overridden". Do you purposefully keep overlooking people saying that only one house would favor rural areas?

Telconi hasn't answered why he thinks he should have the same representation of someone who pays more to keep this country afloat
I mean you wanna talk two wolves and a sheep voting who gets a tax increase, there it is.

How to end up in prison in one easy step.

Let's be honest, suspects who shoot back rarely end up in prison.

Ah, so you're going to try to commit murder, then end up dead. You'll cost the state one whole bullet.

So in other words criminal activity against those evil non rural people? Im surprised your not in prison already.

Thats not a straw man. Its what the thread is about.

>straw man
lol how so
Really now, what makes you think you deserve more representation than them?

That's one of the risks of resisting those you oppose. Kind of goes with the territory.

Hmmmmm. You would probably loose the support of the people.

Well I wouldn't be doing it in my neighborhoods.

[San Lumen]

And you think the state wont throw you in prison for vandalism and criminal trespassing?

[Telconi]

Let's be honest, suspects who shoot back rarely end up in prison.

Ah, so you're going to try to commit murder, then end up dead. You'll cost the state one whole bullet.

Cops aren't immortal *shrug*.

Besides, infrastructure vanda list is hardly difficult to get away with, it isn't like every power pole has armed guards. Or even every transformer or substation.

They most certainly would if I were caught. Or try, this was previously covered.

You go do that sometime and see how long it takes before your caught. The answer not long.

So you dislike police officers too? And you claim to not be an anarchist.

To harm anybody other than the people you claim to be trying to help with your silly little insurgency, you'd have to do it in the middle of a city. Where there will be literally hundreds of witnesses, all of them extremely pissed off at you. You wouldn't last ten minutes.
