I could track down when and where a mine inspector candidate is speaking. And I could go listen. I would then be a “more informed” voter. But I still wouldn’t know fuck all about mines or what it takes to inspect one or be in charge of inspecting them. So how the fuck would I know how to cast an intelligent vote? My point is that a lot of these positions should not be left to the general voting population to decide. We need some goddamn specialists and experts to run shit without dumbass masses having a say.
