This is just a long winded way of saying that those who didn't vote the way you think they should have are dumb not to understand the issues as well as you do.
I'm not sure you are going to sway many voters with that argument.
I believe I did understand the issues well, and did manage to sway several voters with reasoned thought-out arguments. The ones I didn't sway had reasoned well-thought out arguments of their own.
But most votes in the referendum, on both sides, were won on slogans and fear-mongering and promises that cannot be kept.
So, no I reject your assertion that people who didn't vote my way were dumb, if anything this is cast at voters at large, but I also reject the word 'dumb' as prejudiced and wrong-meaning, democracy requires honest and balanced information and access to this information, and I do cast aspersions at people who don't seek out balanced information and only allow themselves to be exposed to a single world-view.
