@eldersea@expressional.social Yeah, and I'm not even against older candidates in principle, but it really shouldn't be the case that younger generations get *no* representation, nor that candidates with major outstanding health issues that are directly relevant to their positions get in without mitigations for those issues.
We're not talking about employment here, after all, we're talking about the functioning of government itself.

@xgranade@wandering.shop I get that experience counts! But so does ability to function, as you well articulate. I've also dreamed of some sort of system that grants more votes based on some combination of experience and expected remaining life. I know that functionally it'd be nigh impossible to implement, but I would love to see it. Those with a longer stake in the world should impact it more!
