It continues to amaze me how dumb half of America is.

Truly don't think it's half. It's just the way our elections and voting works. Every the stupid minority has a loud voice when we weigh votes instead of simply going for popular votes overall.

you can count all the people who don't vote in the stupid category, so actually more than half.

Remember that a lot of people couldn't vote. Either because of voter registration rolls getting purged or disenfranchisement from a criminal charge.
