Summary

This quote suggests that the electorate, or the group of people eligible to vote, is often not fully engaged or well-informed about political affairs. Instead of being guided by facts, truth, or an understanding of current events, people are easily swayed by simplistic slogans or catchy soundbites. It implies that a lack of attentiveness and critical thinking among the electorate can lead to the influence of empty rhetoric rather than a focused consideration of substantial information when making political decisions.
