not quite sure if this is the right forum, sorry

what is the point of this whole youth voting movement? if the kids of age are oblivious to the election to begin with, what makes them think that once they register to vote, kids will take the time to find out any of the political info that would make them smart voters?so, what does anyone really gain from ignorant voters? they dont really care, so theyre going to vote for whichever canidate they find superficially better, so what is the point of encouraging kids to vote when those who care planned to anyway?
