I’d love to apply the same logic to voting and weight votes by how long the voter is expected to have to deal with the consequences.

  So the people with the least amount of experience would be making all the decisions? You must be a young person.

    Not as young as I was when I voted in my first election, about 25 years ago ;) You assume young people will vote for other people like them rather than whoever they think would actually run the country best for the long term? You must be an old person.

      No, I’m old enough to understand that people in different age groups have different mentalities. Sure, there are 18-year-olds that are mature beyond their years to the extent that they are willing to consider the interest of older people, but it’s not the norm.

        Its funny cause the mood among the young people is that the American government is entirely run by geriatrics for other 50+ people. I'm sure they'd be very happy with better representation, though apparently not enough to get them to actually vote for it
