Welcome to democracy, where an individual with zero understanding of an issue can vote on it and is legally entitled to have their opinion taken seriously.

It really does feel like there should be some kind of aptitude test involved in getting a vote, doesn't it?
We need to require at least some minimal standard. A common-sense starting point would be literacy...
Yes, I think about this often and it appears to be a bug in the democracy system but any attempt to tie voting rights to knowledge seems to create even more bugs.
