    It's only a problem if you don't think of voting as a voluntary choice carrying responsibilities. We give every citizen the vote for a reason. But we also let people rationally decide they don't know enough to contribute by voting.https://twitter.com/ElectProject/status/1222720942222299137 …

        "..the idea that public participation in civic exercises is a mark of democratic health is a staggeringly shallow observation... The freedom to tune out of the political process is a privilege."

        Look at that comparatively small 2018 dip though. Looks like people of all ages felt like they knew enough about somebody to vote in that midterm

        This is why America is not, and has never been a democracy. A democracy requires compulsory voting. The benefits of a democracy come with a cost, and that cost is showing up or mailing in every 4 years. Small price.

        But if your party depends on the poorly informed, then well, it's a problem.

        The big problem is old, white people who don't know enough, who turn out to inject their ignorance, racial resentments and apocalypticism into politics with maps rigged to help them win.

        Agreed. But the fallacy in that argument is that older Americans somehow are more prepared for the civic responsibility of voting. Younger Americans will be affected by today’s policy decisions for their entire adult lives. They can and should help decide them.
