"Don't vote for him if he doesn't." That's just it; if congressional races were at large, somebody from LA would get like 4 million votes, while a person living in our district might get 500K.

Sorry if I am beating a dead horse, but isn't there two unifying traits that bind all good people on the planet, regardless of geography, clear thinking and humanity? << I was born in one country, grew up in another, went to university in a third, ran my business in a fourth (Australia) for a long time. Even today, I am closely connected to 3 very different geographies: NY, ON, and CA. And I am not an exception. My wife is the same. As are many of my friends. People like me cannot easily find a candidate that represents us on the local level, but there is enough of us to make for more than one if "virtual districts" were a thing.
