We already have enough youthful political activists that are 100% disconnected from the real world.

Why would we want the youngest, least experienced, most ideological, and frequently petulant to elect leaders?

More youth voters won't fix a thing. It will, in fact, make things a lot worse.

Instead we should elect geriatrics, who can barely speak up half the time, or look like they're about to collapse from good old American heart disease any minute.

  • No, not geriatrics. 40 to 60 year old men and women who have accomplished something other than lie well enough to get elected a dozen times. Each should only serve a max of 8 years before another is voted in.
