One human = one vote

Anything else is undemocratic and I think it’s morally reprehensible to support a system that values any one person above another for any reason.

We’re never gone get 1h1v, not exactly, but this dude is literally sitting here defending a system in which a vast portion of voters - not just.voters but people in general - are unrepresented.

Representative democracy is better. My reps should have more time to research every topic than I do. Their job is to be more informed.

My job is to spot check on the stuff I understand.

Their votes should be worth more than mine. And we should have a system where sometimes representatives vote against their constituents wishes because the rep has more information available to them, or is just more educated than their constituents on the topic.

Representative democracy can still exist with 1 person = 1 vote. You could do a proportional election and weight the delegates’ votes by the number of voters they represent.
