American voters are ill- and misinformed

The clip below discusses a "new poll from the University of Pennsylvania shows that American citizens are overwhelmingly uninformed about how this country actually works, and more importantly, who are elected leaders are. Most of them couldn’t name a Supreme Court justice, and nearly 33% couldn’t name a single branch of government." A democratic republic can only work if its citizenry are educated and informed. But that is the point, of course. By degenerating the educational system the oligarchy can lie to and misinform the already ignorant masses. Plus paying workers so poorly that they need 2 or more jobs to make ends meet prevents them from having the time to inform themselves. This is not at all by accident
