Yyyyeah. Unfortunately we’re not actually a democratic nation- land and especially money count for more than actual people when it comes to voting. Gerrymandering just reinforces it, and ensures an undemocratic result.

the original version of USA was more explicit about land mattering, because you couldn’t vote without it.

America is like the beta version of liberal democracy that launched far too soon with a constitution full of bugs and the developers decided to make it nearly impossible to patch.
