It's been proven that people over 60 tend to suffer from severe psychological and intellectual decline. This probably explains why so many old people are so stubborn/ignorant and overwhelmingly voted Trump as president. Do you think there should be a cap on voting age? Should senile 90 year olds get a say in the future of America (that they won't even live to see)?
Yes. I mean you have all the old people who are about to die electing in these conservative governments and policies that the young ones don't want and will have to live with.
if we prevent 65 and older from voting then we can't have people in that age group (Clinton, Bernie, Warren, Trump) running for president and other government positions, that just doesn't make sense
Umm, the ones who want go out to vote should be able to. They've lived a long life and worked hard to deserve that right. Regardless of how different young vs old people think, old people make up a big portion of the US population and not allowing them to vote would be discrimination and misrepresentation.

Everyone eventually becomes old. The same cannot be said about being gay or a woman. Stupid post.
You're missing the point. You're clearly discriminating a huge portion of the population simply because they produce RED politicians. What if we turn the tables and prevent those that elect BLUE ones? That's equally bad.
The current generation of old people 65+ at least yes because the majority of them well the white ones at least, lived during the era of segregation and grew up being racist and many still have that mentality
I go back and forth with this... To me, it just seems like senile people who won't be alive to see the policy fully take effect shouldn't have as much say as the younger generations, whose future is more at stake. But, then again, most of the people making policy are older, so I'm conflicted.
Another teenage Democrat who thinks he's above the law because she's young and youthful.
Remember, once you get old, the new breed of generation will be the ones telling "you to die off" because you're old and have screwed up their future.
