There is a reason that the United States’ founders allowed states to restrict the right to vote to educated and reasonably intelligent voters. Once enough voters who have no clue can vote, everything falls apart.

What a ridiculous notion. It smacks of an arrogant superiority complex. A true virtue signaller statement. You don't have to be educated to be intelligent. You simply have to be able to use logic and common sense.
We are in this mess because of "educated" (credentialed) idiots who believe in everything that so-called experts and intellectuals (the "intelligent") say and can't do an ounce of research on their own.
What you're describing isn't the consequence of intelligence, it's the consequence of feminine emotional characteristics like focusing on status and social consensus.
I don’t think your assessment could be any wronger. We’re in the mess we’re in because we don’t have a critical mass of voters able to understand these complicated problems and stop them. Unfortunately, I wished it wasn’t the case, some people aren’t able to adequately understand and defend their interests in complicated issues, and pretending otherwise only makes things worse.
In the US & abroad, corruption, collusion, profiteering and racketeering in the scientific and medical communities has for decades been facilitated & encouraged by US Gov't alphabet agencies full participation & complicity.
What else would explain decades of budgets, policies & practices to treat symptoms only instead of underlying infections of 300+ diseases & medical conditions?
More than half damage brain, heart, vascular system, CNS, connective tissues & other organs & systems through the body.
Sick, weak, disabled populations of inadequately treated persistent infection patients spend the bulk of our time struggling to access & pay for Drs, specialists & treatments not covered by Big Insurance.
Because Big Pharma owns most politicians and agency heads & is the largest advertising revenue stream for both Mainstream and social media, the narrative put out by the profiteers is the only one permitted to be circulated.
So when inadequately treated persistent infection patients who have gone misdiagnosed or undiagnosed for decades become so cognitively impaired, most remain unaware of WHY we cannot access adequate treatment of adequate duration and continue to vote for those who enable the profiteers.
The system isn't broken, it working precisely as designed.
The underlying points are that the system is completely broken, now more so than ever, that voters are not and have not been able to change it, and that the founding fathers were very worried about a democracy with voters who lacked the skills necessary to defend the legitimate interests of society.
Obviously, the interests of society are NOT being defended by the educated, "high-information" voters and the PMC. The founding fathers had no clue (nor could they) about the depth of psychopathy and corruption that neoliberalism would breed, 180 years hence.
Absolutely true. The corruption, collusion, profiteering and racketeering over the last several decades has disabled 20% of the US population.
IMO, at least 1/3 of the population is so cognitively impaired by one of over 300 inadequately treated persistent infections that the medical industrial complex, pharma, politicians, and other profiteers have successfully dumbed down enough voters to continue to get away with it.
Like AIDS/HIV IT WILL REMAIN UNTENABLE unless and until ITPI's stop turf fighting and competing for funding and media attention.
We must work together in loose, leaderless affiliations to organize and mobilize.
We must commit to years of repeated acts of civil disobedience coordinated nationally and globally or nothing will change.
Not the medical system, not the scientific system, not the medical industrial complex or corrupt academic institutions, and certainly not our dysfunctional and abusive political system in the US.
Disabled, 62, I can commit to giving arrested at any location between Boston and Washington DC if provided a bedroom and bathroom the night before the event and someone to take responsibility to deliver my service dog to the family she knows and loves who has watched her throughout the years whenever I have been hospitalized.
That family is located not far from me on Eastern Long Island in New York state between New Jersey and Connecticut.
That should have read I can commit to being arrested. I'm on Ivermectin and other components twice a week, so can endure short periods indoors masked with an n95 or better and tight fitting goggles so as not to be infected via moist eyes
WHY do over 90% of my fellow Dems think Early Treatments are little good or dangerous and buy into the flood of disinflo/fact-checking? Or let me be specific. Why was the NYT (2020/4/02 able to get away with lying that DrZ gave his protocol to "ANYONE" & conveying the false idea he was doing something dangerous and no one could correct that? (I tried but no one would listen to the proof BRD, a long informative interview and strangers would insult me by claiming I was a MAGA or liked Trump and flag me -- the posted interview got warned then censored, etc and, NYT, of course never responded or published a retort). I, and others, were unable to get the word out that the risk for HR pts w/C could be reduced 10X by early treatment w/ an ionophore, virucide & anti-bacterial BUT I got nowhere. I got defriended for trying.
These people were not IN GENERAL "low information voters" as they had much information about many things which people who use the term "low information voters" are themselves pretty ignorant about. Knee-jerk libs or conservatives don't know a lot about what they most think they know. Moreover, the uniquely strong obnoxiousness of Trump made TDS w/ the sticking power of natural immunity. Most Dems cannot examine proof of H or I-protocol or, now it seems ANY early treatment as they identify them w/ Trump & the Right. Why could I hold my nose and hear out Ghouliani's intvw of Dr Z? It is because I do not hate Trump as I view him as literally retarded, his emotional personality is 5 yrs old so he can parrot morals but is irresponsible -- as ammoral as a 5-yr old. Four years, now five, of intense hate has destroyed the ability of most Democrats to listen to reason about anything that has become politicized. It is possible the only way, we can become a true Democracy (one w. free speech and people who can listen) is to overcome the irrational hate for Trump. (ps, I wanted him impeached or for the Central Command to Court Martial him = as Comander in Chief) for betraying the YPG/AANES to Erdogan & his jihadists, for it was clear he was blackmailed by Erdogan) who can not help being what he is. We don't need a surgeon general but a psychologist.
My observation is that the left tends to rely much more heavily on emotions to make decisions. It’s completely irrational. And once emotions and the PR campaign nonsense meet, people have to be pretty bright to overcome their programming.

Most of those causing the problem are highly educated, at least formally.
That’s completely irrelevant. The point is that the only reason they can get away with it is because low information voters let them.

They're emotionally manipulated (via the regime-propaganda-media) into believing good-people-get-injections, and bad-people-oppose-injections.
Emotion, particularly tribe-identity, is much more primal and fundamental to the human mind than reasoning about abstract concepts.
My observation is that the left tends to rely much more heavily on emotions to make decisions. It’s completely irrational. And once emotions and the PR campaign nonsense meet, people have to be pretty bright to overcome their programming.
Agree. See my comment above.
