Some people are too stupid to vote

They aren't able to clearly define their own values and pick candidates that line up with their values. That's all voting is.

And there is plenty of information available. Yes, plenty of misinformation, too, but somehow a person needs to be able to look things up and figure out who represents their values.

The stories where voters picked Democratic Senators and Trump are a key example. In every case the values of these two are opposite. To say that someone did this intentionally is beyond belief. They didn't know what they were doing.

Blaming Biden for the demise of Roe v Wade is just plain stupid.

Not knowing that Harris would be on the ballot instead of Biden is also stupid.

Today on another message board I had someone tell me we could never elect Kamala because she "twerked" onstage. And I asked what about simulating fellatio onstage? Of course there is nothing wrong with that. They attack her for something fun and defend him for something crass.

These people are too stupid to vote.

I depends on what you mean by values here. Platform, what they've said on the campaign trail, how they come across to a voter?

I live next to underfunding the schools when there's plenty in the city's coffers?
