Averages are a bad metric to use for this. If Musk came aboard a bus full of ordinary people, the average wealth of every person on the bus is over 10 billion dollars.

People vote the way they do for MANY different reasons (some not apparent to the voters themselves). To surmise such a characterization based on the results of something as flawed as "voting in a fake democracy in which the only choices are bought for politicians (for the most part) and elections are rigged in favor of moneyed interests" leads to erroneous conclusions.

Having said all that, I do agree with you that MOST voters are stupid (to different levels) - or more accurately - they are easily propagandized by fake narratives to "vote against their interests".

When GOOD candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West exist, there are not many rational reasons for WHY someone should vote for the likes of Trump or Harris (at least, I can't come up with any without going against my own interests as an ordinary person).
