2. Imho, the act of voting in and of itself encompass a conscious decision to act. To act requires thought. Who are we to judge the beliefs or thought process that leads a citizen to vote?
Even if the voter was "reacting emotionally to propaganda", so what? I find it interesting that you use three very loaded words within a span of four.
Reacting. You paint this voter as reptilian. Incapable of thought and merely reacting to various primal instincts.
Emotionally. You impugn this voters ability to remain uncompromised and imply a certain level of deficit.
Propaganda. You concern yourself with the message the
citizen receives and pass judgment as to whether or not it
meets your standards of information.
[edit]
Allow me to elaborate on your first question. You either have the right to vote or you do not. If I chose to vote based on which side of the bed I woke up on then so be it. To say otherwise is to assert your opinion over my right.
You, Sir, are emotionally compromised on this issue.
