Why should people need to move elsewhere for their vote to matter? Shouldn't we have a system (say, a mixed-member proportional parliament) that actually makes all votes count? Living in denser places is better for the environment. Why should people move to less dense ones?

An MMP parliament in the USA might be a great idea but surely the chances of it happening in your lifetime are negligible. Also density might not suffer that much if everyone moves to the same city in each state.

I guess I look at the probability of US democracy entering some catastrophic failure mode (e.g., dictatorship, civil war) within my lifetime as higher than you do. And if that happens, I'd like to think we'd exit from that failure with something better.
