Rural vs City divide is a pretty important topic that the electoral college attempts to address, though obviously it's flawed.

The creeping sense of inferiority of only having the Senate as population power check. You need a second form of voter quantity tempering to really gently caress over those pussy urbanites.

When rural whites watch tv and movies they feel as though the people who make them either don't care about them or look down upon them. But they can't stop watching tv.

The more dominant the cities are, the greater priority they get for development funds while rural areas are left to rot and all productive land becomes consolidated by agricorps, cattle barons, and absentee landlords.

Liberal Democracy is a bourgeois dictatorship anyway, and even urban voters have their interests marginalized in favor of a tiny group of land developers and financiers.

Okay so besides that sounds like a problem of capitalism. How is that any different from right now where many Rural Areas in the US might as well be a 3rd world countries, because our system heavily favors them

The system doesn't actually favor them, because liberal democracy is a formal ratification of bourgeois power. There is no such thing as a referendum on the flow of capital, and nothing any president has done since the New Deal has had a major impact on rural areas even though their votes are weighed more heavily in less urbanized states.

The US electoral system was created with a pre-industrial society in mind, and the complexities of modernity have only compounded just how obsolete it is - even when the supposedly marginalized rural communities have their votes weighted greater than more concentrated urban districts, their interests aren't served. No element of the voting public is actually considered an essential constituency, only capital and business interests are.

Boy I don't know. Sounds like something that just sprung into existence in 2016, probably not even worth considering. Not like there have been books written about the concept ever since the first cities were founded.

So what did that have to do with dating? Also guessing if this guy has an okcupid he's one of those guys who spams the same message to hundreds of women and complains in his profile about all the women who don't appreciate either a "nice guy" or a "gentleman."

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
