I've said this before but it's still important. Everyone knows that the elderly are more susceptible to scams. It's so bad that the FBI has a dedicated page listing the reasons they are targets.

Basically what the FBI says is that they are gullible and have cognitive issues. They are more likely to believe fake news and bot comments than younger people.
Also they have no skin in the game often voting for short term issues because it doesn't matter to them what the world looks like in 20 years.
We don't let kids vote because they aren't smart enough to understand issues. So why do we let elderly people who studies have shown have the reasoning power of a smart 13 year old vote? There's plenty of kids able to grasp complex issues better than these voters and we are deciding issues that will actually matter to the kids.
No one over 72 should be able to vote. This should be the democrats primary platform in 2020 and must be accomplished before 2024. We should just give them a bag of peanut brittle and send them on their way so we can work on building the country for the future.
