When have we tried voting as an informed electorate? It doesn’t matter how many times we throw them out if we don’t pay attention to who we’re letting in. What you’re proposing is endlessly shuffling a deck and expecting it to magically be sorted after enough shuffles.
The number of morons I’ve talked to whose entire understanding of politics and policy boils down to them saying “government can’t do anything!” or “the two sides just need to come together” infuriates me. We need people to have actual opinions based in reality of both lived experience and informing themselves through things like news stories or town halls, even if its only for a few weeks around voting season. Without that we’re just going to have a revolving door of grifters each one leaving with nice full pockets each time they leave.
Cool so you’re idea is wait 100 years to educate the general population on, logic, health, critical thinking, civics, etc … Let me know how that works out as I will be long dead.
