Hillary graciously absolving herself of any responsibility

However, a full and unrestrained democracy would place all of the political power in about 20 metro areas....

Given the voting pattern of those 20 metro areas, we would be a full socialist democracy in 15 years. That may well appeal to you and Gil, but not to me.

I'm not sure that this is what would happen, but surely you must agree that a system that allows Republicans to completely ignore a state like California is not a good system.
