The U.S. Population is just over 300,000,000.
The cities of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Jose, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, D.C., Boston, El Paso, Detroit, Portland, Las Vegas and Baltimore alone make up 25,183,303.
That's just over 8% of the entire country. I put those 16 cities because it's almost guaranteed that they will vote almost unanimously for a Socialist.
That means that anyone running against them would need a minimum of 60% of the REMAINDER of the country in order to win while the Prog would need just barely 40%.

You’re assuming 1: everyone in those cities votes, everyone votes the same way (remember minority votes in a city still count) AND you seem to be discounting 92% of the country.
And look st what you’re saying: “if a candidate gets 8% of the country he only needs another 40% to get to 48%.”
Ok. That’s how math works sure. It’s not unfair. More PEOPLE live there and that means more people are effected by the decisions the president makes.
We have other means of defending the minority. The court system and constitutional rights are designed to defend that
