Voting is not a "human right" at all...nevertheless excluding (for almost any reason) people from voting contradicts the meaning of democracy.

American citizens are in the unique position of almost never having to leave the country if they so choose, and the US is far bigger than most of Europe put together.
Relatively few Americans even bother getting a passport if the country itself has tons of places to go. For most US citizens, going overseas is typically only for those who can afford a vacation, are retiring to where it simply costs much less to live, or are traveling for lower prices for something such as for medical tourism.

The irony is that there are also quite a bit of leftists on the boomer side too. In any case, I vigorously oppose any attempt to infringe upon universal suffrage as a matter of principle.

These group of people are most actively chased after by politicians to the detriment of young people who are the main or future participants in the economy and future of a country.
Do you agree with this proposition?

And you know what? He's right. A North Korean Unicorn told me so.
You're right, they're not. But at least the system isn't built in a way that lying is the most efficient way to power.

They voted to keep conscription (because they hate young people), for the conservative/regressive party (because they hate poor and young people) and keep this country from doing anything worthwile (because they love that they could get their pensions at 60+, not 65+ like we have right now or at the 70+ we'll probably have soon).

Divine right. Mandate of Heaven. The New Man and the Soviet Ideal. Aryan blood myths.
The difference is: they kill you for calling them out on their bullshit.
As a firm believer in divine right, we'll just have to disagree on that then.
Monarchy is simply the only way to have a christian government. Monarchy is rooted in Christianity, and democracy is opposed to it.

Not that I'm saying all 60+ people are like that, but if we're going to start generalising people I'd much rather have 16 yr olds voting rather than them. Don't forget that it was primarily the older generations who voted Brexit.
The Boomers the ones who led both the civil rights and women's liberation movements.
And the Science is clear 16 year olds by and large are not fully developed so no we should not entrust the future of the country to them.
