A lot of my Twitter feed is saying there should be. We don't allow people in their first 18 years of life vote because I assume they are too young to form opinions. I've seen it floated that we should not allow people in their final 18 years of life to vote for two major reasons.
1. Mental health deterioration
2. Their votes set the tone for a future that they won't be a part of.
At first I was really against this but the more I see it tossed around the more I feel like it's fair. Some old dementia riddled bitty is voting to take away reproductive rights from my 7 year old daughter in the future. That old bag won't even be around to give a damn.
Let's use 80 as the baseline and take away 18. Final year you get to vote is 62.
