No, dummy. You are exactly making my point. You can't actually be informed while casually absorbing main stream news. Not only do you get the most polarized version of what's out there, the MSM doesn't even touch on the most important issues we face as a people. Complex ideas are reduced to soundbites, and you end up making your informed choices by which one best resonates with you. Politics is nuanced, and you and O-line seem very similar to me in your outlook. Well meaning, but misinformed.

You're not alone in this. The truth is that busy people just aren't going to have the time to get into the weeds and find better, nuanced takes on these issues. I find most moderates to be woefully undereducated in politics, and they are the group that most enables the system to continue to function in this broken state. That's not going to change until you apply Hanlon's razor to yourself.
