I think a lot of politicians and political reporters think "low info voter" is like someone who isn't following congressional budget negotiations when actual low-info voters are like "guy who thinks the president appoints the NFL commissioner and are mad at him for suspending a player on their team"

I had a manager who thought the SNL host got to pick the musical guest. People have stupid ideas about the way things work, and they almost never examine the plausibility of the stupid things they believe.

People make a lot of jokes about voters thinking there's a big dial that controls gas prices in the oval office, but I think "low info voters have no idea what the government actually does" goes a lot deeper than that and they blame whoever is President for anything that annoys them.

There's a ton of people on both sides of the fence who seem to think that the president has a magic wand for a litany of issues: universal health care, student loan debt, foreign aid, border control, etc. It's maddening to see it.

It's the low info politicians that depress me. Like the Rs who signed a document to not pass anything of Biden's until TFG's guilty verdict is reversed. Since when can the President /Congress overturn a state trial verdict?

Something Iāve been chewing on, and Iād love your opinion, is that the 2020s āindependent voterā s not at all the same person as 2000ās. I think todayās indie voter isnāt āideologically committed to both sidesingā as much as āunideologically committed due to disinformation environmentā.

I've posted this before but in the abortion industry we hear from people who cancelled one of the last remaining clinical appointments in their state because they saw a headline that said "abortion is banned now" and assumed they would be criminalized for taking the appt.

Agreed. Low information voters are the people who get their political views from their one friend who "follows politics" and don't pay attention to the election until November. And I don't mean that pejoratively. Just what I've learned knocking on doors these past 6 years.
