Real question should be: "Should people over 65 be allowed in government jobs."
YES, if capable.
Supreme Court Justices AT THAT. Scratch that til you die thing.
No they should not
@@duncanbryson1167 "With exception when I want it." you mean.
@@bigscoop91
Mind reader are you? 🙄
Did I say anything specific? No, so I was making a general comment. Never make assumptions.
WTF, who is even suggesting they shouldn't be able to vote....?
There are a lot of younger people who believe old people shouldn't vote, just as there are older people who think people below 25 shouldn't vote. Most of the latter are Republicans, as far as I have seen online.
Me
@@vultureculture7707 Most of them under 25 wont vote anyways cuz they don't follow politics
They shouldnt be allowed to
infact 90% of people shouldnt be allowed to vote
OK, now ask 65 year olds whether 18year olds should vote
Legislation is being pushed to push the voting age to the mid-20s.
This video may be in response to that.
@@Avalanche616 That makes sense. If the GOP pulls it off there will be rioting in the streets.
They should be allowed to vote, but they shouldn't be allowed to run for office.
🐂💩 it's up to the electorate anyway. I'm 70 and I've got a younger outlook than many less than half my age. You also ignore the experience and knowledge older people have.
Why? There are older people in office who do a fine job and plenty of younger ones who don't.
They absolutely shouldnt be discriminated against for being old. They are a member of society therefore should be able to participate in electing and of course also being elected. The issue of 85 y.o. politicians losing their mental facilities to be observed in real time and still being elected again, is very much a symptom of the other problems in the political infrastructure (winning elections because of rich donors, name recognition over policy, party affiliation etc.)
If there's an age deemed too young to vote, and too young to run for certain political offices, why shouldn't there be an age deemed too old?
There should be a retirement age forsure
No, if you are a citizen of a democratic country, you always have the right to vote. No matter who you are or what you do or what you have done.
What about people under the age of 18
I agree with you! Even those who was in prison and done their time!
The key part is “done their time”. If they are done with their probation, or completed their sentence than their right to vote should be granted to them automatically! There are still citizens of United States! What the governments do still effect them too! I work at a prison and most of the inmates where I work are republicans! I can see them watching Fox News when I am doing my rounds in the wings. I may not be a republican but it crazy that the republicans in FL and Tx are denying them to vote. Once they pay their debts to society, I believe they should have rights to vote!
We're a constitutional republic.🤦
Only if you are working should you vote? People over 65 have different concerns; no duh. We all have diverge concerns.
What is the premise of this question?
I commented on that same thing. What's working have to do with it? Retire or get injured and lose your rights?
Oh..so you need to be in the “working force” to have a right to vote. Very interesting.
Right? I commented on that, too. WTF?
Should they be allowed to drive, is the question that should be asked.
If people without an ID are allowed to vote why shouldn't older people ?
Interview the boomers now.
The question should be Should we have mandatory voting for citizens who haven’t opted out due to disability.
Conservatives projecting because they wanna raise the voting age Lmao.
They have become aware that Gen z and many millennials overwhelmingly vote Democrat and pretty much despise their party and values. So now we are are seeing conservative news and programs speaking of a ban on younger voters, raising tje voting age, and gerrymandering against the way college students vote. There's talk about appealing to the younger generations but this is probably a losing battle for them.
What a stupid question why don’t you just ask if people over 70 deserve to live.
That's good to hear, esp. since there are many older Americans who would deny the right to vote to young people. What's with the clown at the end, who thinks that only working people should have a right to vote. See if he still feels that way if he gets injured or retires at some point.
It’s so sad, those words ‘they & them’ are so frequently misused today.
How bout ‘we’? I’ve raised kids grandkids worked hard & now fight to survive every day. I think I’ve earned the right to be a dignified elder. Now this?😞
These are the same people that think Ancient Aliens is real.
Wait! They're not? LMAO
Why is this even a question??
Actually, I’m a millennial and this question came up a lot as a legitimate concern because baby boomers were overwhelmingly making decisions that were not in line with how the modern recession and lack of housing and increased poverty that was happening in our generation that did not affect them. In their times they only needed one income and could buy a house, they didn’t have crippling student loans and could afford a family. They were taking Social Security with the money we were putting in but when I am of age, for every 3 people putting in- only 2 will get out. My generation really felt cornered and concerned for our present and future.
However, I agree with the answers in this video. But just to anyone asking, this is why this question is a legitimate one to be asking.
Not legitimate at all. This is absurd
In Scotland the voting age is 16 but only for Scottish elections.
🏴
I thought that phone was a brick 😭
Why would you want to vote? 63 I've never voted in my life
What an asinine question
Why would you ask?
It's good to know that girl thinks people over 65 are more or less still human 😶
...these kids answering the question are the same ones who were eating Tide Pods...
Yes, the same way every previous generations have had dumbasses, your point?
65 is fine I would say at 85 you should stop
This is an exercise in bigotry.
Real question is how LONG should someone run for government 🤨
Secondly, if you were to remove someone's ability to vote then you're fundamentally removing a democratic system because you feel that a certain age cap gen is not agreeing to YOUR terms, such a childish question.
Given that significant chunks of our society are controlled by people over 65, I don't see them ever losing the right to vote.
They shouldn't be allowed to govern after 65
Why? As king as they still have all cognitive faculties they are within their right.
This is a stupidly loaded question, but even I have to agree they have the right to vote despite differences in beliefs and values. Now holding a position of power like Senate and the like is a different story... If you ask me if they should have a hard cut-off for term limits and/or age of having a governmental post that make policy and change, then you would be getting DISTiNCTLY different answers.
Like, like, like….
You might just as well ask if people over 70 deserve to live.
I dont think people under 25 should be able to vote or have certain rights.
The real question: should women be allowed to vote?
I think retirees shouldn’t vote. This is just my personal opinion. But after having family work in retirement communities, it’s evident that many retirees are pretty closed off about the rotating world and can honestly be pretty dang selfish. On the other hand, we should also raise the voting age to 21
The only people that shouldn't be allowed to vote are Gen Z lmfao (I say that as someone who is literally part of Gen Z)
you can have my vote for not paying taxes again.
And you can have mine for not benefiting from the myriad of positive things that taxes pay for. Now, go back to your unabomber hut in the mountains and think that over, eh? LOLOL
No they shouldn’t🤷♂️
The hubris of the young, or is it arrogance or stupidity.
Everyone should be allowed to vote. But there should be a conitive test and knowledge test for being on the ballot like basic history, science ,math and knowing about the countries laws snd government. Immigrants know more about the us than the lawmakers do
That's exactly what they used to do to keep black folks from voting back in the day and was deemed unconstitutional.
Voter suppression much? Sorry that’s triggering because it was literally done to prevent blacks from voting.
They wouldn't pass
It’s so sad, those words ‘they & them’ are so frequently misused today.
