I don't trust myself to vote. I feel that being informed enough to make an informed vote is a full time job, and I don't have that "luxury". Otherwise you might as well roll a dice or vote the pretty face. Or just don't vote.
- erik_seaberg 5y agoElections are determined by people who don’t think about that. If you are probably more informed than the average voter, you can improve the signal:noise ratio.
- foxfluff 5y agoI'm probably less informed. I don't follow the news (or really any mainstream media) because signal to noise ratio is too bad and there's too much negativity. I have no clue what our politicians are up to.
- ben_w 5y agoI sympathise. There is however a famous quote about this: “the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them” - https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/12/03/misinformed/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/12/03/misinformed/
