Political ignorance is often conflated with stupidity. Even highly intelligent voters can rationally choose to devote little effort to acquiring political knowledge.Since one vote is not to be decisive, even a voter who cares about the outcome has almost no incentive to invest in acquiring knowledge to make an informed choice.The provision of which is subject to the collective action problem which arises when consumers do not have to help pay for its provision in order to enjoy its benefits.
Ignorance Isn’t Bliss. Inadequate voter knowledge prevents government from reflecting the will of the people in any meaningful way. Such ignorance also raises
doubts about democracy as a means of serving the interests of a majority.Smaller
gov. if more democratic than what we have now: Voters would be more likely to exercise informed control over policy. There is a much greater incentive to be informed and acquire relevant information
How can the United States claim to be model democracy if its citizens know so little
about political life? Political ignorance has mushroomed as gov power has increased.
If citizen comprehension of gov. & public affairs is the currency of democracy, America is long since bankrupt. Few Americans do well on tests of political knowledge; beyond recognizing presidential figures. Poll show 74 % didn't know the name or party of even one local congressional candidate.
First of all, if he interviewed people who voted for McCain, and in previous elections Bush, I know for a fact that they are equally ignorant of who represents them in congress. Also, here interviewed mostly black voters. If it's any consolation to you, we didn't put Obama in office alone. Without the majority white vote, Obama would not be in office. Admittedly my people don't turn out to vote very often, because very few politicians represent us well. This is propaganda.
@thoomolong People constantly speak of 'the government' doing this or that, as they might speak of God doing it. But the government is really nothing but a group of men, and usually they are very inferior men. They may have some better man working for them, but they themselves are seldom worthy of any respect
perhaps the biggest blow to civil liberties is what he has done to the movement itself. It has quieted to a whisper, muted by the power of Obama's personality and his symbolic importance as the first black president as well as the liberal who replaced Bush. Indeed, only a few days after he took office, the Nobel committee awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize without his having a single accomplishment to his credit beyond being elected. Many Democrats were, and remain, enraptured.
These Obama supporters look like the most fucked up Cult, And speaking of this "Cult" Barney FranK and Nancy Pelosi, should be leading them. They already are.
Honestly, I was in the same, dumb shoes when I voted, but 4 years later, now that I have a more mature perspective on the economy, I will admit that voting for Obama was a a very dumb idea. No longer will I judge a politician on a warped sense of principle. It's time we vote in a president that actually has experience, who can lead, who can compromise with both parties.
@bluegrassreb1 If Herman Caine was the republican's nominee running against a white democrat, do you think black people would vote for Herman Caine because he's black? Absolutely not. We didn't vote for Pres. Obama primary because he's black. But he seemed honest and genuine, and he showed the intellectual abilities. His blackness only made my vote that much sweeter.
Black folks should abandon the Democratic party. THAT would be truly historical. Not that it would solve all of our problems, but it would be a kick ass start.
@aaaredskin In a true democracy, everyone is allowed to (and should) vote. But many people are mislead (by both parties) and therefore can't make an educated decision as to whom to vote for. So they take what little info. they have then make an extrapolated decision. You can't necessary blame the voter; you have to blame politician, media, etc. for their lack of truth about the candidates. America's politics is corrupted and has always been. Nothing new to minorities, though.
@cswayzer1 All Americans should SHOULD NOT VOTE... most people vote for politicians b/c of a pretty speech, & a promise. But when you ask questions , they know NOTHING about the candidate. Most Americans do not know the difference in Rep or Dem's , they don't know the difference in Liberals & Conservatives, or which party is Liberal or Conservative . Americans couldn't tell you the branches of Gov. if life depended on it. I could go on ! Americans are politically ignorant, thats a FACT !
@onstageagain In a true democracy everyone has the right to elect political leaders. Unfortunately, some of the reasons they base their vote on are ignorant (dems and republicans alike). Not everyone base their (from either party) base their decision on simple reasons. Some people make rational and educated decisions. If this video were asking republican voters the same questions, I'm pretty sure a good number of them would be clueless as well. So we cannot generalize either party

@LeeroyJimboBerkowitz Obama is the most disastrous president in our history Obama failed to close Guantanamo Bay as promised. He continued warrantless surveillance & military tribunals that denied defendants basic rights. He asserted the right to kill U.S. citizens he views as terrorists. His administration has fought to block dozens of public-interest lawsuits challenging privacy violations & presidential abuses
Right now ain't nobody in charge of Congress - they're all up there wasting our time doing NOTHING while this country goes to hell. Meanwhile idiots are busy trying to fight with their neighbors over who's better- Dems or GOP instead of working together to get rid of ALL these rich SOBS who've f'd our country. 50% of US adults CAN' T read at a 5th grade level. It's not an accident.Read FREE book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America (online) written by Ron Reagan's Sr. policy advisor.Wise up!
Please everybody listen up Obama is no different than Bush and everyone's favorite Clinton all corrupt puppets for the elite power brokers! so is Romney and all the rest except Ron Paul! Don't listen to the corrupt media go search here on youtube and google and find out for yourself about Ron Paul! -he speaks the truth and is for the Constitution! A good place to start would be -Ron Paul on Clinton impeachment and predicts 911 - also check out Alan Keyes on Obama and other Paul and Keyes videos
To vote on race alone is the dumbest shit i ever heard in my life. You just want everything handed to your lazy ass and hoped obama would do it for you. Get a job you fuckin bum and stop cryin race get over it we arent what we used to be as a country. Race isnt an issue like it once was, yeah people are still ignorant and say racist shit but for the most part people are over the race card. I feel now black people are more racist to us whites then anything.
@Gunacctivist It's not about racism; it's about the untreated wounds of racism. I hope you can understand that. We know that the effects of racism, and the gov's actions to sabotage black movements, caused many black people to live in poverty. Yes, racism is still alive. Yes, we are in a different time. But the effects of it are still here with us. Poor colored people in this country are the creation of the "christian, white male, super power structure"-Bill Oreilly.
Most people don't believe in the political system. I'm black and I voted for Obama for a few reasons: he speaks to my social concerns; he's a liberal, I like his circle of friends; and he's black. Why is it a crime for black people to vote for a black president based on his race alone? We have been mistreated-for the lack of a better word-in this country. When one of us shows the ability to lead from that position, and speaks to our needs, then he will get our vote.
@cswayzer1 why are u liberal? why do u want the government to take care of you with social programs? these programs are not helping u become successful. actually they are making you poorer (not saying u are, but they are making the majority more poor). instead vote conservative and more jobs will be created so you can go out and make a living and live the american dream, which is not welfare unless if you are physically/mentally ill who deserve all the help in the world.
@scarsofbravery I study sociology, philosophy, anthropolgy, theology, and science. I believe government should protect, aid, and represent the people. That is what democracy is all about: the people are suppose to have the power. I don't believe gov. should dictate any aspect of our lives, but it should assist us with our social issues. The reason gov. is necessary is due to the generations before us that created discrimination, racism, etc. Gov. should aid our country to recovery.
@scarsofbravery Due to past atrocities toward people of color, many of their descendants have been held behind (financially, academically, etc.). The gov. did nothing to make up for these atrocities. Some feel welfare and social programs are free handouts, but what have they paid for that "handout?". My people were slaves in this country. Those of us in poverty are there because this country put them there. It is indeed their job to get out, but that is easier said than done.
@scarsofbravery America sends billions of dollars to Israel each year but no one says anything about that. (Honestly Jews in this country do quite well for themselves, so why do they need American's tax dollars to help them defend their borders? I digress). With that fact, why shouldn't Amer.Gov. assist those whom it destroyed? Aren't the minorities in this country more entitled to amer's aid than other nations?
@cswayzer1 That's like me asking "Why is it a crime for white people to prefer whites based on race alone?" Are you saying I should try to maintain a trend of solely white leadership in the nation because I'm white and I like whites better? Because I feel that they speak to my needs? I will vote for any person who represents a moderate, politically untainted agenda (like Ron Paul), to vote based on race is an undeniable manifestation of racism.
@DOWORKINATOR It's not racism when black people vote for a black president just because he's a black candidate. Think about it: would it be wrong for Jews to vote for a Jewish leader just because the candidate is Jewish in a Germany presidential election? No one would say the Jews who voted for that reason alone are idiots or fools. The world would understand why they voted. But in America, people don't understand why blacks do it.
You don't have to know much about politics to understand which candidate to vote for. Not many people keep up with the specifics in politics primary because they do not believe the system works properly. This is especially true for minority groups who have been mistreated in this country. Aside from the specifics, individuals are able to understand which candidate speaks to there needs and concerns. For that reason alone-if specifics are not known-they vote for their candidate.
I'm not an Obama supporter, but this video Is stupid as people on each side fire off and highlight targets on each side. As someone who sits in the middle I see idiots on both side spout non-sense and remained ill informed. It is fine to laugh, but laugh at the idiots on both sides.
@eysofastrnjr Why not? Every other president was elected, first, because the color of his skin. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, all the way up to JFK would not have been president if they weren't white men. Then their experience,politics and background came into play. With that said, President Obama is a great president, a heck of a better choice than George Bush Sr. or George W Bush.
@thoomolong You have no idea bout politics. Obama is one of the worst Presidents this country has ever seen. He is a great politician not President. George Bush Sr. actually helped our country and its economy greatly. Bush Jr was hit very very hard with the second worst attack on U.S soil, he wasn't great but handled it the best way he could.
I love watching the niggers faces, tryin to sound smart but thinking... "damn I ain't know shit ya digg, I'm just votin fer dis nigga cuz he's black cuz!!!!
This is fun i am fourteen and all knew all the answers except one (Bill Ayers). To bad I can't vote yet. I will be 18 soon enough. Also please tell me all you YouTube people who is your favorite president and why. Mine is Andrew Jackson because he was a great general and had no was the first and only President to have NO DEBT!
It's funny how the neocons here are mocking the average democrat on being misinformed, when they get all their information Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Conservatives have no right to mock any group, considering that they are some of the dumbest people on the planet.
@thuglifenos What the hell are you talking about? I'm a conservative engineering student that never watches Fox, NBC, ABC, CNN or any other dishonest programming.
Sad but very true. All those Obama supporters know very little about him. They're so misinformed and so out of touch with everything. Very very sad. Our nation is very dumb. I've done a test like this before on the people I know who voted for him. You wouldn't believe the responses I got. I tried my best to inform them however they're very ignorant towards the things I mention. It was just facts.
And this is the reason democrats are poor and want your money, they are uneducated and lazy, to lazy to look up the facts. I'm sure more misinformation has been passed around through the unemployment lines. You got your wish hahaha
you can still find plenty of republican hillbillies to say they refuse to vote for obama because he's a communist muslim who was born in kenya which bothers me more than people not knowing random campaign trivia
@YOYOdaMOOSE this demographic, "hillbillies" has almost become obsolete, at least a majority of republicans have an honest idea of which candidates represent their views and are not self- righteous assholes preaching a message of "Change" with served as nothing more than a campaign ploy
I always find it hilarious about the people who have been "dissapointed" in Obama saying I voted for change blah blah. Do these people know how government works? The guys does not have the ability to do everything he wants. You have to pass it through congress which has been Obama's wall. Everything gets blocked. A lot of people don't follow politics to the point they should, instead of relying on a 30 second local news clip or a small paragraph from a newspaper. If only people did research.
i know all the answers to these questions, and i dont waste my time voting; this is probably because i know that most people voting are like this--knowledge gets drowned out on both sides, so its pointless
The dumbing down of America makes people think less and have a stronger desire for the government to do more for them because they're too dumb to take care of themselves.
this is stupid, yea there are some people that are not informed correctly, but i know someone can make a video asking a dozen republicans the same questions about who they were voting for and they wouldnt know all their information. Not all voters are idiots.
@Diannax1x You'd have to look long and hard. All the Republicans I know could answer any one of those questions quickly and accurately. Why? Because they don't use the mainstream media to get their (dis)information. This video is proof that the average Obama voter watches more of things like Oprah, David Letterman, Katy Couric, and all the other Republican haters rather than doing a modicum of homework using alternative sources.
@seabulls69 let me guess u get ALL your news form the news, u know the liberal media, WTF u think there gunna say? dumbass look it up your self, stop turnig to liberal media
and liberal arts? WHAT THE HELL does that give America?
@Twitch380 I'm not sure if we're agreeing, or disagreeing, based on your cryptic reply. Perhaps, if you learned how to spell, put your thoughts together in a coherent way, and use some common (well, maybe not so common) decency, we might be able to establish a rudimentary form of communication. In the mean time, you're welcome to keep guessing.
@chrismullinaxcm Try walking the halls of Congress. It's Abercrombie & Fitch meets the Hair Club for Men. Lots of really photogenic young people kissing up to lots of insufferable blowhards. Separated by one or two generations, most of these players have only one real thing in common: They have never been weaned from the public teat. The closest they've ever come to meeting a payroll is when they come together to spend everyone else's payroll taxes.
@chrismullinaxcm Most politicians believe in one thing, winning elections. They'll say anything to get in office & stay there. WA has a mysterious power to turn perfectly reasonable, well-meaning human beings into equivocating crooked gasbags! We should be long past applauding politicians of any hue: they got us into this mess. The best deserve a probationary opportunity to prove themselves, the worst should be in jail ! two things standing between our freedom are Repubs & Dem's
@chrismullinaxcm I don't vote for, I vote against... regardless of the party. And I damn sure know who I'm voting against come Nov. Politicians are notoriously economically illiterate. A billion here, a billion there, soon it adds up to real money ! Bad, stupid, gutless policies have real consequences ! Perhaps you should loan that bastard thats in office at present those balls your calling out to be sucked... Hes missing his.
@chrismullinaxcm Its stupid fighting each other, citizens want the same things. The personal qualities necessary for attaining office are practically the opposite of those demanded by the office itself. Trouble with the system , it selects for the skills needed to get elected, nothing else. A test U can only pass by cheating can't possibly select honest people. Our current system ensures not that the worst will get on top , though they often do, but the best never even apply.
@chrismullinaxcm Pledge allegiance to your principles, family, faith, but don't be foolish enough to pledge allegiance to a gang of thieves. You cannot adopt politics as a profession & remain honest. I don't give a shi* what party you profess to behold. They are leaches, mostly! The US was supposed to have a limited gov. b/c the founders knew political power attracts swarms of crooks, demagogues & despots as surely as horse manure attracts swarms of horseflies. Blood suckers all...
@onstageagain Right, so I don't have time to read every word of your cynicism, so I'll get to the point. Apparently, from what I skimmed, you believe both parties are equally corrupt and broken. The problem with that is, why would democrats propose things that no one likes, but are things that we need? Like levying taxes so we can pay for programs we need? Wouldn't it be so much easier to get into office if they proposed deregulation like the Republicans, for corporate money?
@chrismullinaxcm The gov consists of a gang of men exactly like you & me. No special talent for the business of gov.only a talent for getting & holding office. Their principal device is to search out groups who pant & pine for something they can't get & promise to give it to them. 9 times out of 10 that promise is worth NOTHING! Its made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words gov is a broker in pillage & every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods
@chrismullinaxcm Idealism is the noble toga political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Programs? Politicians learned 100's of yrs ago those who had little material wealth were incredibly jealous of those who did.
This deep-seated envy was ripe for exploitation & has been running rampant for generations.
Lots of public service consists of making hoops for people to jump through. A great career for those who cant feel fulfilled less they're telling others what to do
@onstageagain Hard to argue who wants to blame Democrats for every single thing wrong they see, when the GOP have a policy of "if it ain't broke, break it."
@chrismullinaxcm Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even when there's no river. There are just 2 things standing in between American people & their freedom: Democrats & Republicans !
I have come to believe, politicians are in the business of marketing their product to the public, by exaggerating threats & over-selling government solutions . The problem iisn't the money; it's the power !
@onstageagain Oh that's bullshit. While there are issues on both sides about corruption, one of those sides like to impose "family values," even when there front runner had 3 overlapping wives. Not to mention they're against corporations being forced to take responsibility, as we saw in the gulf, and they would rather cut on education than eliminate oil subsidies. There's at least a distinct difference policy wise to know one side wants to sell us out, and the other wants to help.
@onstageagain Also, Democrats have been pro health care, pro union, pro labor, pro choice. We obviously have America's back, while the Republicans would sell you out faster than Filipino prostitute. I would usually argue in greater detail, but you'll still probably bitch and moan about "how their all greedy and corrupt" or "all part of the one percent."
this is proof that some american voters are so bias that they he one good thing about a democratic canidate and they totally disragard any more information about that certan canidate. and assume that all the bad things said are from the opposing party n this case its obama v. mccain. this election debolish the voters bias and do whats good for our country!
People who really think Obama is going to lose in November is an indiot . Americans can't even decided into who to run against him. That's how bad the republicans are Mitt. Ronnmey is going to win and go against him because the others make him look like he's great. In all reality he sucks just as bad as them.
@cruzazulino23 You're so right,i could do this here in Britain we have 100s of MPs nobody knows them ALL by name or where their from or the party they represent.
@tony13a No he isn't, these questions were about fundamentally basic issues of government (like who controls congress...) and the main politicians. Not ALL of them, duh.
It would be like not knowing who Ed Milliband, Ed Balls or George Osborne are.
@gorgolyt I'm not arguing that knowing that info. isn't important. What I am saying is that most people don't care. But when a candidate speaks of brighter and better days (it may or may not be rhetoric), individuals who-prior to the election-could care less about what politicians are doing, are now willing to support their candidate. That was a small percentage of people questioned. Most americans don't know the specifics of the activity in washington.
@cruzazulino23 I know Obama 2012 four more years I can't believe people want Ron Paul to be our Pres. He's 76 years old and will be 77 when the election is here.
Watched the first minute and started laughing. They obviously had it wrong. league of doom was majority in congress until the 2010 elections when the justice league became the majority.

@JoMama123451234 You are exactly correct. Most of the progressive left believes in "warm and fuzzy" ideals without looking at reality. After 3 years of this socialist they still try to blame Bush without looking at the damage this person has done to our country. If this person gets re-elected we are truly f&$&-ed.
lol, "the most informed voters we could find". Hey people know when their life sucks, and that's all they needed to know. If you look hard enough, you will find someone who thinks Barney Frank is Fred Flinstones little buddy.
Obama has never managed a business in his life. Not even a hot dog stand. He never competently managed anything. Before being a politician, he worked as a community organizer, big deal!, making $12,000 a yr... I see him as a typical lawyer ( hardly a compliment), whose early life was shaped by forces not friendly to what this nation was conceived to be, nor what it's become.. Obama is 1st, concerned with himself, then with promoting his deeply believed destructive social policies.
If a gov were put in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5yrs they’d have a shortage of sand.! There is future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the gov from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them ! I've set my own rules to live by. The first one is: 'Never believe ANYthing the gov says...
From day one everyone has been on Obama's back riding him wether or not he is doing his job its so sad he never got a chance to do is job without all the hate and drama. If only our previous president had our interest in heart we would not be in a recession right now. We extended our aid to Iraq which consist of Sadam Hussain toy with our effeorts to retrieve weapons of mass destruction. Our aid to iraq was succesful but it left the USA in a economical crisis.They want Obama to fix it overnite!!

Please everybody listen up Obama is no different than Bush and everyone's favorite Clinton all corrupt puppets for the elite power brokers! so is Romney and all the rest except Ron Paul! Don't listen to the corrupt media go search here on youtube and google and find out for yourself about Ron Paul! -he speaks the truth and is for the Constitution! A good place to start would be -Ron Paul on Clinton impeachment and predicts 911 - also check out Alan Keyes on Obama and other Paul and Keyes videos

@Gunacctivist It's not about racism; it's about the untreated wounds of racism. I hope you can understand that. We know that the effects of racism, and the gov's actions to sabotage black movements, caused many black people to live in poverty. Yes, racism is still alive. Yes, we are in a different time. But the effects of it are still here with us. Poor colored people in this country are the creation of the "christian, white male, super power structure"-Bill Oreilly.

Most people don't believe in the political system. I'm black and I voted for Obama for a few reasons: he speaks to my social concerns; he's a liberal, I like his circle of friends; and he's black. Why is it a crime for black people to vote for a black president based on his race alone? We have been mistreated-for the lack of a better word-in this country. When one of us shows the ability to lead from that position, and speaks to our needs, then he will get our vote.

@cswayzer1 why are u liberal? why do u want the government to take care of you with social programs? these programs are not helping u become successful. actually they are making you poorer (not saying u are, but they are making the majority more poor). instead vote conservative and more jobs will be created so you can go out and make a living and live the american dream, which is not welfare unless if you are physically/mentally ill who deserve all the help in the world.

@scarsofbravery I study sociology, philosophy, anthropolgy, theology, and science. I believe government should protect, aid, and represent the people. That is what democracy is all about: the people are suppose to have the power. I don't believe gov. should dictate any aspect of our lives, but it should assist us with our social issues. The reason gov. is necessary is due to the generations before us that created discrimination, racism, etc. Gov. should aid our country to recovery.
cswayzer1 2 days ago
@scarsofbravery Due to past atrocities toward people of color, many of their descendants have been held behind (financially, academically, etc.). The gov. did nothing to make up for these atrocities. Some feel welfare and social programs are free handouts, but what have they paid for that "handout?". My people were slaves in this country. Those of us in poverty are there because this country put them there. It is indeed their job to get out, but that is easier said than done.

@scarsofbravery America sends billions of dollars to Israel each year but no one says anything about that.

@DOWORKINATOR It's not racism when black people vote for a black president just because he's a black candidate.

You don't have to know much about politics to understand which candidate to vote for. Not many people keep up with the specifics in politics primary because they do not believe the system works properly. This is especially true for minority groups who have been mistreated in this country. Aside from the specifics, individuals are able to understand which candidate speaks to there needs and concerns. For that reason alone-if specifics are not known-they vote for their candidate.

If only our previous president had our interest in heart we would not be in a recession right now. We extended our aid to Iraq which consist of Sadam Hussain toy with our effeorts to retrieve weapons of mass destruction. Our aid to iraq was succesful but it left the USA in a economical crisis.They want Obama to fix it overnite!!

Re-register as Independent so we can begin to take back our country from all politicians, do not participate in any party primaries.
