Just like 16 years old people can’t vote because too young, 80+ years old people should not be able to vote, most of them are too distant from everyday reality of younger people to be able to take a wise decision for the community and also often stick with (way too) old ideals from their years
I posted this a lot on reddesies. It was unpopular; lots of em down votes.
The issue is that voting has become insanely complicated.
I’m sorry, not everyone has time to research 30ish candidates in the primary and then read all the articles or amendments or local and state changes or whatever and let alone comprehend the implications. I’m not even in my forties and this is too much for me. Elderly people are basically being taken advantage of, I don’t have disdain towards them. They probably shouldn’t vote since they’re on the cusp of their EOL cycle and have no idea what they vote for.
