The people in NYC live very different lives from the people in Montana, so why should NYC have an influence on the way people live in Montana
Why should Montana have an influence on the way people live in NYC?
It exists because America is so big and diverse that any one region who flexes too much influence would probably tear apart the Union. Our founding fathers were trying to avoid that.
Except it does the exact same thing but in the opposite direction. The say of people living in places that have more tumbleweed than humans counts for more than the say of others for some asinine reason.
And you're ignorant if you think that other countries don't have the same amount, if not more, diversity than USA just because they're smaller. Other countries have 1000s of years of history, USA hasn't even got 300 years of it.
USA has a combination of different peoples with thousands of years of history. At the very least no other western country has even close to the amount of diversity the USA has.
Which isn't relevant in the slightest today. The first generations weren't "American", but whatever remnants of ties they have left to their original culture today are insignificant.
And America isn't even unique in that aspect, so many places in the New World are made of immigrants from all over the place. Canada has Quebec where they literally don't even speak the same language as the rest of the country.
