If you mean “large cities”, those are in fact the backbone of your
economy. The US isn’t an agrarian society any more.

Why should the value of someone’s vote depend on where they live?

They won’t be able to make the machines that the farmers use to farm

no manufacturing of farmhouses, no laying of roads for the trucks to
supply feed and fertilizer and seed and take away produce. Nobody to
pay the farmers. Nobody to educate them on how to grow their crops.

Now that we’ve established that none of you lameass Dumbfuckistanis have
the slightest clue how agriculture fits into a modern industrial economy,
can we get back to the question I originally asked?

You haven't "established" anything, dipshit, except for your glaring
ignorance about the U.S. economy and government — but that's been well known
for a while now.

Namely, if you consider all your citizens to be “created equal”, why do
you not count their votes equally?

Because 1) the U.S. is a Republic not a democracy. And 2) because all U.S.
citizens are ALSO citizens of the sovereign states where they live. These
sovereign states joined the Union with certain pre-conditions that would
insure that the small states would have some check and balances against the
larger states. And 3) because the U.S. adopted the Electoral College and
that's just the way it is. Live with it.

Read some history. Get a clue. Come back and explain what you've learned
when you learn something. Or stay stupid. Your choice.
