To: Hebrews 11:6; All
"Voters are always right for the same reason the customer is always right they are the ones who decide." With all due respect Hebrews 11:6, please consider the following. The reason that the idea of low-information citizens is floating around is that youre ultimately going to shoot yourself in the foot when you make a decision when you dont have enough information to discern the good choices from the bad choices.
Consider the decision to get an abortion for example.

Sorry, friend, but you've missed the entire point of the article. The author asserted not that "voters are always right" in some general sense but rather only to the political party which they form. If the administrative and titular leaders of that party (the "GOPe" in this instance) ignore the votes of those who make up that party, the voters will leave that party, transferring to an existing party or to a new one, or giving up on politics; or else they will overthrow those faithless leaders, who exist not to enact their own preferences but instead to enable and empower the party's voters whom they represent. The same is true of every democratically-constituted organization, as manifested in its bylaws, be it the RNC, the DNC, the PTA, IBM, or Congress itself.

I think DaveA37 expressed it rather well in post #35.:
Problem with that theory is the GOP doesnt give a rats behind what the voters think, they do things their own way, precisely why Trump is doing so well. The people are pissed at the GOP and WILL REPLACE THEM SOON.
The voters are right even when the leaders don't "give a rat's ass," so the voters will soon demonstrate that in one or more of the four ways I mentioned in post #37.
