Which brings the question of, how many of those who do vote are informed voters or just a casual observer who decides his vote on a whim?
LOL
I should have included the intuitively obvious caveat when using the word "electorate". The electorate is a subset of the group named citizenry, or the electorate are those who actually voted. I do not include those for whatever reason, justification or rationalization they may have to not vote. So among those who actually vote, I suspect a majority are stupid, which is a direct result of ignorance.
So a specific example would be is it more important to save Democracy or more important to elect someone who does not represent Democracy? Stupid people voted for bigotry and not for Democracy.
While someone like Trump is a deeply offensive, abrasive, cretin, who is so highly obnoxious, I would not stay in the same room with him, that would not be the reason I would not vote for him. His obvious bigotry, which does not represent Democracy, would be a reason not to vote for him. Statements and policies which undermine Democracy would be reasons to not vote for him. etc etc
The world is not black or white, ones or zeroes. The world is a delightful color of gray, offering people an opportunity to make the "right" choice given conundrums of ethical/moral angst. Democracy for me is far more important to preserve than the alternatives currently offered by Republicans. If that is not the case ... then choose Orban, someone Trump admires.
