I'm saying that's why Wyoming has the same amount of senators as California - to put a check on such attitudes.
To put a check on what attitudes?
That everyone's vote for president should count equally?
I don't pretend to understand Australia, I've got no important opinions about how y'all should run your country.
I'm saying that the reason Wyoming has almost 4X the electoral college voting power, per capita, over California is because people in Wyoming are more likely to support the wealthy WASPs that designed the "election" process a couple of centuries ago.
Californians are vastly more representative of the U.S. as a whole. More diverse in terms of urban/rural. More diverse in terms of ethnicity. Socio-economic strata. Pretty much everything. Big states like California, Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania reflect the American people as a whole, as opposed to Wyoming and the Dakotas and Montana and Idaho. Those are very white, Christian, and "conservative*".
