Also one of the sad truth of democracies such as they are is that they are followed by a large political apathy.... large groups of society are already disconnected from it and don't care.

So maybe a right that you have to earn will be more valued.

and to be honest... some it is better when some people just don't contribute...

just no

Why do you have the exact same profile photo

Like what the fuck

That is how I look. I am a bot you see.

Right

That’s cringe

shhhh

I see a double-spacement

I’ll accept a problem democracies face is the propensity for short term governance but this isn’t exclusive to democracy and the children incentivising long term financial wisdom seems to be questioned when you see how boomers talk about the pension. This only follows where people see their interests as the same as their child’s which is frequently not the case.
Power would still be distributed but within a core bloc which it’s unlikely to expect a defection on this issue from the mass as each individual is incentivised to gatekeep the franchise.
It is both historically and presently untrue that democracy carries a burden of political apathy and while currently there is a crisis of connection and legitimacy (not engagement or investment) this would seem to be exacerbated by excluding huge swathes of society including and especially the youth.

Fine ignore my memes

So rude

Ad. "Short Term Governance" - I would argue that on average they would care more because paternal instincst. Would say that even the american boomers care on average more then their childless compatriots... and finally it is still an improvement from what we have today even if it won't solve the isse totally. Ad. Gatekeeping - When the gain in neglectable there is no source for this incentive. Tbh.. I don't think you explained how it is supposed to work. Ad. Apathy Seems to me like it universally leads to the said apathy in every country so...

Also people get more conservative with age so that alone makes me think that lowering the voting age is not a good idea.

@Zabriskie E
