While I appreciate you calling out the lovely senator from my state (and I completely agree), with such a poorly informed public and with issues that exceed the capacity of many to understand even if they did try yo become informed, I don't think there is a solution that doesn't require a massive overhaul. Personally, I've like many aspects of the Starship Troopers model: if you don't care enough to serve your country (military or humanitarian), you may still live there, but you are disenfranchised. I suspect there is the real potential for tyranny of the voters, but, in theory, the service is supposed to limit that.
