That's actually pretty much how I feel about the average voter: willfully thick. Grown, clear-thinking adults should not need this much persuasion to vote correctly. Maybe they do need it, and more power to you if you think you can do it, but I'm appalled that you even need to.
In a sensible world, a career criminal who openly plans to impoverish the entire country wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of securing a majority of the vote for any political office. It'd be unthinkable.
