118. No, my argument does not

"boils down to asserting that a small portion of the population ought to have influence out of all proportion to its numbers in a democracy". Nothing of the sort.

My argument says that any plan to make the system granular per-person creates and even larger injustice by disenfranchising those in small states. That would include me, even though my state leans slightly red most times.
I simply will not bend away from ideological consistency for a win. Sure, I could go along with a plan to do so, national policy would start leaning in the direction that I want, but that would make me a hypocrite, and thats a label I'm not willing to accept.
Trump is a setback, a temporary illness that we will eventually correct by operating within the bounds of fairness. We don't need to be like them in order to win, we only need patience and a willingness to support what is just.
The last thing we would want to do is give the smaller, red states a reason to whine because we changed the rules.
According to your philosophy, we also should enact a national flat tax rate. And that isn't fair to most of us either.
