Grandma, we’re watching things on the internet now. It’s consolidation of the media because those formerly powerful outlets are dying and now these things are cheap.
This is a Boomer problem, and I’m fucking tired of Boomers running stuff, because they suck at it.
I propose a Constitutional Amendment that the voting age starts at 18 and ENDS at 70. And that no one over the age of 70 can be elected to anything Federal ever again. That anyone currently in office over the age of 70 be kicked out right the fuck now.
Then let all the Boomers exist in their paranoid racist little bubble getting scammed and buying pillows and catheters from whoever the TV tells them.
I disagree with a max age limit on voting. Someone who’s 70 can still live 30 more years, and they deserve to be able to have a say in a system that can directly impact them.
The point is that they actually might have to deal with the consequences, especially if there’s a candidate who will do things to hurt them, like fuck up social security or Medicaid.
Everyone deserves to have their voice heard in the system they live in, and setting an arbitrary age limit is unconscionable. It’s basically telling them to fuck off and die.

Literally too many politicians over 70 to ever make that a viable amendment.

OK, but what if they have to trade their driver’s license for voting rights?
Sure, but then they don’t have to live with the consequences.
Meanwhile, most people under 70 hope to make it to 70 and beyond. Better make sure they are voting in their future-selfs interest.
