Let me see if I got this right...
Franzl is against further direct democratic elements
You agree and add that people are stupid
I assume you mean stupid people voting gives us stupid laws and that you, like any sane person would be against that.  I recalled that you were recently praising mandatory voting so I go copy that post hoping for either a "gotcha!" or some further explaining from you.

Perhaps I missread some sarcasm somewhere?  Maybe I'm just missing something due to my ignorance?

I guess the root of my problem is that I can not understand why somebody would be for mandatory voting.  Stranger still if you think the average human is "too stupid".

The point is that non-voters are not significantly dumber than voters.
Probably true, but, I would assume, non-voters are probably more ignorant on the "issues" and are, by definition, more apathetic towards politics.
