Yet they commit to go vote?
Also your argument basically boils down to that they trust other uninformed people more than people who are better informed.
This may be possible, because the other uninformed people are their equals.
So Idiocracy is in our nature, it’s inevitable?
Problem is the uninformed should chose just about 50/50 because it’s mostly random, then the theory is that those who are better informed, should tilt the balance to the best option.
So why doesn’t it work?
It’s their right. Unless you’re advocating arm taking away their rights. I would argue that we should heavily focus on education instead.
Until such time as we can instill in the average person the desire to be informed and think critically. Yes it’s basically Human Nature.
As an anarchist in a red state. I tried to do my best to keep those around me informed and dispel misinformation. Because if anything goes down or something is to happen. It’s the people around us that we’ll have to rely on. Most of them don’t want to hear it however. And just shut down. Especially the trumpers. They’re particularly easy to shut down. Since there’s no evidence of any of their beliefs. Which is exactly why they shut down.
Even the anti-trump ones have low tolerance for discussing it. For Generations it’s been a taboo/gauche thing to do talking politics publicly. Though they do generally agree with me.

Of course it is, but it’s not a requirement, so why do they bother if they have near zero interest?
