On top of your excellent points, I would add that our news media by and large are not set up to inform ordinary Americans about things that matter. In that context, blaming stupid American voters is a lot like blaming under-performing students for a bad teacher.

They can blow up a story, hammer it home, hound politicians about it, make it a scandal, make it something everyone is talking about and officials have to answer for. They've done it over and over, most recently with the news that Biden was old, but they're not doing it now. (3/3)
