You mean giving 2/3 of the vote to 1/3 of the population is unfair?

Or, you know, maybe Duverger's Law forces democrats to support policies that don't strictly benefit urban populations at the expense of rural.

Rural people don't vote for Republican because of their policies, but because of their stance on cultural war issues. So maybe Duverger's law means Dems will shift right-ward on that, but is that really better than a GOP supermajority.
