The great thing about representative democracy is that idiots don’t actually vote for anything. They only vote for whom to represent them.
I’ll admit, I’m somewhat of an ignorant idiot myself. I haven’t read nor understood the entirety of all laws. That’s why I choose someone else to represent me.
I think it’s only fair that mentally handicapped people are also allowed to choose someone to speak their case.
The problem in US isn’t the idiots. It’s the two party system. In countries with multiple parties, truly idiotic votes would be scattered randomly all over different parties, or they would be placed on the party that represents idiots the best.
That doesn’t work in US, because you actually only have one political party and then the opposition.
It’s really easy for an opposition to trick idiots into voting against everything.
