      For the longest time this was just a bad faith argument. It turns out everything they do is in bad faith and they are running the world with the attitude that everything I do does not matter in the long run because I will be dead, never witnessing the consequences. I don’t think older people should be allowed to vote without passing a political ‘literacy’ test.

      Agreed on both accounts. If your chances of dying are higher than 70% in the next 4 years you shouldn’t get a say. If your driving gives everyone around you a 70% or higher chance of dying because of you… no license. Ageism? Yeah, so?! /s

      More voting restrictions? Might be better to get younger voters by making voting compulsory and enforced, like Australia.
