“They don’t understand the issues!”

I love how right-wingers make the argument that young people are too dumb to vote and only adults are smart enough, but when ranked-choice/approval/etc voting reform is the issue at hand, they make the exact opposite argument—that adults are too dumb to understand the new voting system!

And how is that even a bad thing? If some people can't even understand how to vote, they definitely can't understand the issues they're voting on.
