Oh give me a damned break. The same dumb question can be asked about rural areas - what do farmers care about the need for inner city homeless assistance or drug interventions?
They answer is hopefully they do.
But neither is a justification to give the minority the absolute right to dictate to the majority. I know this is a hard concept to understand, but in literally every democracy in the free world, the party / person who wins the most votes is deemed elected to office by the people.
It is only in this country where 10% of the population think they can dictate to the other 90% "because the live in cities."
That's utterly moronic.
I completely understand your argument. I just reject it as anti-democratic. It's how we end up with abortion bans in states where the VAST majority of the population support abortion rights.

Like I said, I don’t have the patience or inclination to break it down into molecules and spoon feed it to you, luckily the better system prevails regardless of your approval.

Must be nice living in a world where the guy who gets 40% of the vote gets 66% of the power.
That's not democracy. F that.
