or they should issue some iq test or somethin i think 40 or 35 is a bit much tbh XD maybe like 25 id be happy with 25

[Jesus_Smith_Nandez]

they should raise voting age to like 22 at least tbh imo tbh

Try 40.

Republicans would win every year, only millennials vote blue. Why do you think they're so pissed off and protesting because they're experiencing someone they don't like being elected for the first time and are pissed off that it didn't go their way.

Grown ups would be making the decisions, sound(er) ideas would carry through every time, and the descent into liberalism and free stuff(tm) would be arrested, yes. That would be the point.

Voting power should -- obviously -- also be modified upwards by factors like tax contribution, time/number of generations your family has lived in the country, extraordinary service to the state, military service, and the like, and removed entirely for public officials and other wards of the state. A parliamentary house of lords is not a bad idea.

In short: The system should be intentionally rigged to prevent democracy, liberalism, rent seeking, and other obviously degenerative phenomena. Back when European civilization was still a thing, before the modern dark age after the world war, this is what it used to look like in most countries.

A boy can dream.

vote at 40, conscripted at 18? no way buddy

You guys believe that age is going to satisfy you and have you feeling "better" about the polls. You can be 50 you can be 40 and still be uneducated and bias on whom you're voting. Some people look at the party they represent and vote for their party, not their beliefs and views. Also prioritizing people's votes or lessening depending on their service or how long their families have been citizens doesn't help any cause and strips the rights and freedom granted to others. Even in communist countries, they don't even do that; it's not real.

i think tax contributions is a great idea though

[tyrtix]

Also military service... also make citizenship tied to serving... wait, that's in a book.

this is what it used to look like in most countries.

Wasn't that that led to the world wars you just referenced?
