      So just vote for the issues that matter to you.

      Either way, you get more control than having someone else make the decisions for you.

        “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?
