Oh my... one of the things that made me really uncomfortable on reddit was the open discrimination against the elderly, and now it comes to lemmy, apparently...
Look at the comments. People want even to take the voting rights out from the ederly. Seriously?
You all have to realize that what we need isn't less voting rights, but better POLITICAL EDUCATION! The elder politicians who are in charge and screwing up things aren't doing so because they're older, but because they have bad political agendas and intentions. And yet, people voted on them...
If you're still unsure about that, just look at the Brazilian example. Our current president is 77, but was the only one that had potential to confront the opposing, fascistoid party. He won (by a tiny percent), and is working heavily, against an opposing senate, trying to give us back the rights they tried to take out, and improve our economy, favoring the poorer ones. He's not perfect, no one is, but his age doesn't make him a bad ruler, and that's the point
