- tpmx 6y agoThere is a lower limit; typically 18. I was talking about calls to lower that limit.
- celticninja 6y agoI am aware of the lower limit. The existence of which means we should also have an upper limit.
- ohyeshedid 6y agoI'm curious what your reasoning is for having that opinion.
- CamperBob2 6y agoPeople who won't be around to see the consequences of their actions should have less political power than those who will.
- ohyeshedid 6y agoWould you include terminally ill young people in that?
- CamperBob2 6y agoIf our government were populated almost exclusively by terminally ill young people, then maybe. That seems farfetched compared to the gerontocracy we have now. My guess is that there would be some pretty crazy confounding factors that would either invalidate my original answer, or render it irrelevant.
- celticninja 6y agoAverage 80year old voting today won't be alive for the duration of the current government. They had their chance at politics and if 62 years of their voting got us here then I think we can safely say we aren't losing anything by removing the vote from them.
