Don’t non-parents have more stake in the future than parents? Parents always need immediate help, they don’t care about the long term consequences, that will be faced in 10, 25, 50 years.
As a parent, I sure as hell care about what my daughter will face in the future. So I absolutely have a stake in the future. Do I have more of a stake than non-parents? I don’t care to speculate. But that has nothing to do with who should have the right to vote.
No way, it wasn’t until after I had my kid that I really started ***seriously ***thinking about how shit would be 80+ years in the future after I was dead. Like maybe I had some passing thoughts about the future before that but it was always very theoretical and not a concrete thing to consider.

What about 15-20 years from now? Most parents I know are just struggling to get through the week and want any help they possibly can.
