Except not really, because look what's happened in the last 20 years. A lot of people voted Republican because the Democrats didn't actually deliver on anything good. And sometimes the situation is complicated, like if you're trying to reform tax law or something like that, yet other times it's incredibly simple, like if you're trying to stop genocide. We cannot expect the majority of voters to be well informed on a complex issues but we can absolutely assume that they will be partly informed on the simple ones.
