Why wouldnt I think that 70% of black people were smart enough to see he was the best candidate?
I do think the majority of Americans are lazy and ignorant tho, esp. when it comes to politics. I'd say on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm only a 7-8 on that scale myself (with 10 being the most informed). It depends on the type of issue, social, economic, public policy, environmental, equal rights, etc.
Exactly. Nor do I. I assume they knew something about all of the options they were voting on.
I try to read up on all the options when I go into the voting booth, even on the smallest level (town bonds and the like) but I never really know or fully understand the goods and bads of the outcomes. I would consider myself the same as you, probably a 7 to 8 on the scale. And then there are some issues that no amount of research will help me with because I just don't understand the issue at hand.
