    I’m not arguing against people being informed. I’m arguing against uninformed people being encouraged to vote.

    High voter turnout does change the results in many cases, but generally that’s simple negative feedback. Average Americans didn’t have to be well informed to vote against Trump in 2020, for instance - Trump saw to that when he made an ass of himself publicly on a regular basis. And people notice things like wars and recessions and whatnot. That’s not the same as an informed voter base.

      They’re being encouraged to become informed.
