Can you fix that ? If not I'm not inclined to give them the power to decide every issue. But it is a novel thought. The founders understood. But it's up to you to watch, see and call-out your elected officials. But you can't do that without some assemblance of truth in the media. You won't get that if you don't demand it !

nope i can not fix that people getting fooled.
i was also wondering how that works in Switzerland all those years because the voter turnout is mostly very low.
I wanted to know how swiss people think on that and the answer i got everywhere surprised me a lot.
the swiss are aware that they cannot understand everything and every topic and have here such a kind of collective representation of interests. that means that the people only go to these popular decisions when they have dealt extensively with the topic. thus actually automatically decide those who concern it most and who have informed themselves most deeply.
and look - it seems to work. not perfect - but more perfect than anything I know.
