Why do people vote for irrational and ignorant politicians?
Post Body

They don't vote for the most rational and logical politicians. In fact, the overwhelming majority of them are very emotional ones. They don't vote for the most educated politicians in politics and economics. In fact most of them don't understand a thing about basic economics. I will not pretend to be a very rational person and an economic expert. Most of us aren't but a politician should be held to a higher standard. What exactly the criteria voters seek in voting for politicians? Why vote for incompetent idiots like those? Shouldn't politics be about choosing a politician who is rational and educated in politics and economics not a popularity contest?

Comments

People will ask this and the exact same people will get bent out of shape when other people refuse to vote.

Pick a lane.
