many folks find this outrageous, but it's really what one would expect. I'm sure the fact that politics is streamlined to particular issues (RvW, Immigration, etc) doesn't help eitherpic.twitter.com/n5fRqomdVF

also notable that the only successful democracy in the history of the world, Switzerland, is notorious for people not knowing their politicians
here's another one: few today remember that the party system is generally instituted so that someone else can know the specifics about who politicians are, you just vote the party line to affirm their work in lining up people for your interests.
civics has been made unimportant - and intentionally so in many cases (some indirect) - for a good reason. The structure of the USG is irrelevant to 99% of people's lives. Apart from knowing laws that apply to you, the rest is time and effort most people don't have to spare.
if we talk about the descent from say, what was expected in 1800 to now, we can't ignore the demographic shift and the expansion in franchise. More education isn't going to solve a problem that has already solved itself.
Here's my political platform: reverse the expansion of franchise, by excluding yourself! Don't vote! Unlikely to win any significant office, oddly enough!
