The old should lose the right to vote over the age of 65 or 70 or something. The world and more directly, our country, would be much better off. Im with you - let them fight.

If ppl can't vote till they're 18 than my suggestion is take 18 years of the average life expectancy and that's the oldest anyone can vote.

I'm no spring chicken myself anymore but the plain fact of the matter is that the olds hold all the power and are deeply racist/conservative when taken as a whole.

OK. Taking away power isn't the solution. It's well known that many, many younger people fail to vote. Why do they not use their power instead? And change the electoral system so that a person who does not win the popular vote can't take office.

Nah, that's discriminatory. Give 'em half a vote.
