"Nobody Really Cares": The Rural Voter Problem

[Initech]

30. I've been wondering this since the Bush years.

Why should someone who lives in a town of 1500 get more of a say in politics than someone who lives in a city of 12,000,000? I live in Los Angeles. That's a great city. I go to other large cities like Washington DC, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Detroit. Would I visit Plains, Georgia, or Waco, Texas, or Wasilla, Alaska? Not on a bet!

I don't want to live in a theocracy where our most important decisions are made by the clergy. I don't want to live in a country where conservatives think they work harder than liberals do. We have jobs too, damn it! No, we're not paid protesters. I don't want to live in a country run by conspiracy theories and AM hate radio because that's all small towns have to listen to.

Small towns are small for a reason: nobody wants to go there! Big cities are melting pots. We can't let the small towns dictate how large and diverse major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco live their lives. Just because you're miserable don't drag us down with you!
