    That’s simplifying it a bit much. I think it’s more like:

    Out of the voting population:

    10% are shitty people (evil, greedy, etc). These are usually the loudest bunch

    15% are single issue voters that didn’t understand elections aren’t JUST about one issue

    45% are just stupid and go with what they are told without any critical thinking on their part (bag of hammers group)

    5% are misogynistic and would never vote for a woman

    15% are somewhat paying attention

    And 10% actually understand what’s important

    Outside of the voting population, 36% of eligible voters are lazy or apathetic and didn’t vote (Again, bag of hammers).

      That’s going out of your way to complicate things. Shitty people and single issue voters are a distinction without a difference. You cannot be a single issue voter and not be a shitty person. Enabling and endorsing the most horrific grifters. All because they’ll happily lie to you. And tell you they will deliver it your little Pet Project. Especially repeatedly as they do. Makes you a bad person.
