It could be me but it seems like a lot of younger people these days are voting more progressive left-ish in favor of humanity and looking at a more open future

I do hope we still have a world to vote for when our time comes..😟

If we keep going like this it feels almost inevitable we have to start all over again

@stux whaat do you mean "when ouyr time comes" ... its your time right now... please stop burning it down, this is all you guys right now (and by you i include myself as im the older end of the newer generation taking over)

@freemo That's not true

Most of the gov's exicst of "older people", look at yours.. dude..

@freemo Voting doesn't mean shit if your gov is dying, or believing the most ridiculous things because I guess they have dementia..

@stux Why not... your (us) the ones voting the people with dementia... means a lot... maybe if people llistened to me when I said "dont vote for racist dementia ridden joe" we wouldnt have him... but noooo, im a nazi for pointing that out or something apparently.

@freemo You're kidding me right? :bloblaugh:

I did not even meant Joe in this case lol!

It's fucking Trump man..

The world is laughing and crying at the USA at the same time for that dangerous fascist clown

@stux

I mean, pointing our Joe is racist and senile, isnt to say that Trump isnt also racist and, well not senile but an idiot... sure.

But Joe is our president, not Trump, and while the lesser idiot, the greater in terms of senility for sure.

@freemo Both are great examples of well, waaaay to old and senile people to lead a country with so many people..

I get that experience is a thing, but where the F is the age limit in public places? It's freaking absurd to see such elderly people have such important functions with so many consuequeses

And still Trump is (trying, i guess?) to run for president.. how the hell do people make that possible.. :amaze: I have no words

@stux The fact that Trump might actually win after his last HORRIFIC go at it is, I agree, laughable to say the least.

I dont fully agree with you that there should be an age limit. Its not about age, its about the senility... like Trump wasnt senile, he should of lost cause he was a piece of shit, not his age (or just being an idiot more generally)...

Biden is senile and i would have said he should not have won not because of his age but because of his obvious mental decline....

Lets just hope we get someone new this next round who is better than either of these asshats.

@freemo I also asked that a little while ago if there isn't a test etc for that but i got some good answers

"What is senile?"

it can be interpreted depending and such, and an age limit is just clear as day

@stux The problem is a person can live to 100+ and never show senility.

Senility is well defined in medical terms and can even be seen on an MRI... it does not have to go hand in hand with being old... yes you need to be old to get it, but being old doesnt garuntee senility either.

The way i see it if someone is senile it shows... everyone can see without much doubt biden is senile... so at that point it should be the voters who have the good sense to pick someone else... the fact they dont doesnt mean we need a law, it means we need to teach our children to be better voters.

@freemo True, true, i don't know :blobcatgiggle: i am no docter, nor even close lol

We can teach them to vote "better" but if there's nothing "better" to vote for it doesn't mean a thing and won't help either

Ugh.. it's freaking hard to see to turn the USA into a circus with scary clowns.. you guys need to be the example, not the laughing stock

@stux

The modern term for senility is dementia. and it comes in multiple forms, Alzheimer for example is the most common form people know. But yea this stuff can be seen on MRI, some people get diseases that cuase dimentia in old age, others dont.

> We can teach them to vote "better" but if there's nothing "better" to vote for it doesn't mean a thing and won't help either

This statement is wildly confusing... who you have to vote for is... the result of who you vote for... My presidential choice is the result of who i vote for at the party level... who is availible at the party level is the result of who i vote for at the local level, who is availible at the local level is the result of who i vote for out of the counsels and new comers... You act like they are forced to some small selection of people to vote for.... **you** (us) get to select every person at every level every step of the way.... so its still on **you** .. you (us) choose to vote for this people from the local elections on up... we put them on the ballot, and then voted for them.

@freemo Haha :blobcatgiggle:

Ofc i know WE are the ones WE vote into office etc but my point is that when you can only vote on crazies there is no choice :bloblaugh:

These days we "vote for the lesser evil" but that insane! We should have difficulties for chosing people on how good they are

It's turned around is what i mean

if 80% if the people on the ballots are madman how big do you guess chances are the sane people are getting into office

@stux but what im saying is that because we get to place the people on the ballot int he first place, we are the ones to blame for only having craxies to choose from.

If we had simply picked sane people for our ballots then we would have sane people to pick from... remember by the time we see the ballots these people have went through dozens of lower tier elections to get there... its those lower tier elections that decide if the crazies or the sane ones bubble to the top.

@freemo @stux People in the US and many democracy around the world don't always have a say in who get voted in. Sometimes money does. It takes a lot of cash to run a race, and some people are just too poor for that.

@louisrcouture

when someone guys an election with cash thats just a fancy way of saying "they used their money to convince people to vote for them"... that isnt people not having a choice, that is people having 100% of the choice, and letting that choice be bought..

For every vote someone buys someone else had to sell their vote.. So you can just as easily say voters had 100% of the choice,a nd they chose to sell their vote unethically rather than to use it.

@stux

@freemo There is still a choice someone couldn't make, cause the big donors did not want to donate to them, so that is how we end up with not good choices. @stux

Follow

@louisrcouture

Yea but in a society where votes cant be bought then no one **needs** even a dollar in donors... In fact if we saw a person take even a dollar and spend it on advertising we would refuse to vote for that person for the immorality of trying to game the election with money, it would ruin their career... only leaving the people who refuse donations for consideration...

We dont do that, and thats our fault as voters (not the people spending money)... we should
