Who cares if the majority would vote for something if given the option on a silver platter they never had to work for? That's not how democracy works. In order to overcome all of the political obstacles to any reform the people have to actually try: become informed and engaged, vote intelligently, write their representatives, etc. Which you know full well is never going to happen if 50-60% of the population don't even bother to vote in the first place.
