I think in a lot of cases it could be. BUT, to berate the voters call them ignorant and so on INSTEAD of educating them in a better way, to me, is worse than their voting. People make mistakes and learn from them, that's human nature and voting is a something that plays on human nature. Candidates and people pushing issues know this and play to people's emotions, not intellect. But, I believe the ones going for intellect and perhaps change may suffer at first, but if they educate and work WITH voters they get the results they want.
