Sorry, I wasn’t trying to create polemic. I’m well aware that for most of history democratic voting wasn’t a thing.
Just wanted to add a bit of context, yes, by population city opinion is more important NOW, but until very recently, considering strictly population, it was not, and the current political tensions are in part caused by this change.
I wish respectful conversation, sorry if I seemed rude.
Sorry if I seemed rude. Ignoring life problems, I’m not great at talking to people or voicing my thoughts, I just get really angry over things since a car wreck a couple years ago. Like all my feelings towards anything at all have been amplified. I do genuinely hope you have a good rest of your day.
I do still feel that your statement on the matter excludes the fact that, since the dawn of history, the town/city has been infinitely more relevant to voting matters than rural could ever be. As I said, the people living outside the city walls were irrelevant to practical sociopolitical matters.
Certainly, but in the context of democracies, the rural people were made very relevant, being the majority, but now are being pushed back into being irrelevant, and are angry about it.
I too wish you a good rest of the day, and a wonderful weekend, and may you come across people that stand with you so you can feel better.
