    “Abstain from votes you feel unqualified for while the unqualified radicalized masses vote every time” isn’t exactly the winning strategy either. Fact is a large portion of the population has no problem voting incompetently and/or under the influence of malicious talking heads.

      I don’t see why you think the constituency would routinely make worse decisions than the people they put in power.

      Fact is a large portion of the population has no problem voting incompetently and/or under the influence of malicious talking heads.

      What makes you think politicians are exempt from this?
