What should be the maximum voting age in this country?

[ChairmanGonzalo]

There is a major difference between the regressive, less educated, and less tolerant older generations, and the forward thinking, well informed, and socially tolerant younger generations in the United States.

Older people are far less likely to support basic rights such as the right for a woman to choose, the rights of LGBTQ couples to marry, or the right of people of color to peacefully protest the systematic racism in this country. Voters under 40 often tend to be far less bigoted, and believe in freedom for all citizens, not just white males.

Older voters are far more likely to support policies which will cause extreme harm to the environment, this country, and the world as a whole. Meanwhile, more educated younger voters often choose to implement policies which value the world we live in over the making of a quick buck or two, such as a ban on fracking, a ban on nuclear power, and a focus on renewable energy.

Older voters are far more likely to support imperialistic wars in Mideastern countries which pose no threat to the USA, as well as support the genocidal murder of Palestinian children by the illegal state of Israel. Younger voters understand the importance of peace in this world, and are far less likely to provoke a meaningless war overseas or support enemies of justice such as Israel, Turkey or Colombia.

In fact, an argument can be made that not having a maximum voting age kills 32,000 a year. Older white men make up the majority of gun owners in this country, and even as the rest of the country seeks to end meaningless violence such as the massacres in Orlando or Dallas, old white men who treat guns as more precious than the lives of innocent children are allowed to vote, and by voting, they stall any common sense gun reform that can be made in the usa. These geriatric republicans think that people need guns 'to defend" themselves, not knowing that having a gun makes it 50 times more likely for you to be shot, and that the vast majority of gun violence is committed by people who bought their guns legally.

I personally believe that a maximum voting age limit of 65, or 70 at the highest, should be immediately implemented. This country is on the right path, and the older, less intelligent white men who hold this country back are slowly but surely dying out. However, progress needs to be made faster if the USA does not wish to be embroiled in new foreign wars, be known for its rampant homophobia and systematic racism, and lose 80 people a day to gun violence within the next ten or twenty years.

I just find it so humorous how you are all about equality and shit and are about as totalitarian as they come.
You are one fo the most inconsistent posters I have ever seen on the internet.
Do you know how many fucked up people I have met on here? A lot.

I personally believe that a minimum voting IQ of 65, or 70, should be immediately implemented.
That would stop you, and many young morons of color, from voting.

Yeah, if the dumbfuck actually cared, genuinely, it would be about intelligence. Especially since he is always talking about our current education rate, and wants young people to vote in a majority..
Like I said, inconsistent.

[williepete]

Let's stop the dead from voting for Democrats first. Then we can talk about a maximum age. (So that tabled that discussion permanently).

 

[Dreadnaught1968]

Gonzo would like this idea until he/she/it reaches that age and can no longer vote. They the tune would change pretty quickly.

Although, if you made the maximum voting age "Day of Death" you'd cut down on the democrat voters.

Now that's funny, and ironically true.

The left-wing is all about getting everyone to vote, until everyone votes a way they don't like. Then all of a suddenly they are all about limiting who can vote.

Reminds me of the Brexit vote in the UK. Left-wingers:
"Democracy is great! Power to the people! Referendums! Let your voices be heard!"

UK votes to leave the EU!

Left-wingers:
"Voters are stupid! The public is too dumb to have a say in such important matters! We need to limit who can vote! Let's run the referendum again until we get the correct answer!"

You people......

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Hey why bother restricting their voting rights, lets just go ahead and exterminate them altogether. That way we not only won't gave to worry about how they vote, but we won't have to pay for their healthcare or other living expenses.
We could set things up with "extermination centers" around the country. When a citizen or illegal alien turns 65 they would be ordered to immediately report to their nearest extermination center where they would be immediately exterminated.

I think this OP is really on to something here.

Anyone over 18 should be able to vote other than in years when they take government money to live be it welfare programs like social security or a paycheck. It's just too great a conflict of interest to vote yourself money

 

[pismoe]

this argument about voting age and the crying and whining that is being heard is the same thing that's happening in England due to the 'brexit' which was supported and won by Oldsters . The millenials of course got their butts kicked by the OLDSTERS . Its just funny , OP may be sensing something in the wind ehh Gonzalo ??

State socialists have always been inconsistent

Shouting equality as their cronies personally determine all aspects of social justice. That is not known as equality, but rather hierarchy.

[pismoe]

voting age should be at least 21 and there should be other qualification . Property owner and property tax payer would be good qualification . I also like the idea that the first arriving imported person can not ever vote .
