first up, the implication that people are too stupid to be trusted with anything so portentous as the ability to participate in democracy is fucked.
For many people, the choices they face ARE stark, and being in a position to make a nuanced choice, because the fallout from that choice is unlikely to affect you or anyone you give a shit about, is in many ways is the preserve of the privileged few.
Hopefully we can all agree that education is probably the best way out of all of this, but sadly that seems to be more out o reach than ever for marginalised folks, and i think we all know who we have to thank for that particular outcome.
/edit - i see you touched on education in your subsequent posts and i think you're absolutely fucking on the money there. high five!
