See the genius of the founding fathers was that they knew that this wasn't really a possibility. It's just not possible that every citizen is a political expert. And they shouldn't need to be either, they should be spending their time learning farming and shoemaking and whatever else industry to make a life.

So they intended a representative system where the individuals didn't need to know much, it's just it hasn't turned out that way and generally elections are sold by telling people they are a lot more informed about issues than they really are. We decide who we vote for based on whether they agree with out uneducated positions now, not if they're the most qualified for the job. Just one of the many ways the US system was hotwired.
