As a Republican i support this. I think that being required to broadly appeal to voters in a all states instead of focusing on winning tons of low population, overrepresented rural states would bring a bit of sanity.

People are capable of having empathy and understanding of people who are not like themselves. We don't need to Other/make outsiders out of fellow citizens who have different lifestyles than us.
