    “low-information” voter is anti democratic rhetoric. It’s an argument that some votes should count more than others. Or that some voters are better than others. First time I heard the phrase was on Rush Limbaugh like 20 years ago. I’ve been disturbed how often “progressives” adopt this bullshit mentality.

      I always took it to mean that people are fed shit information by design and we should fix that.

          Hating people for what they choose to be is nothing like hating someone for what they simply are.

            Maybe, but that’s not what you did. You called them intellectually inferior subhumans. That’s Nazi talk bro.
