No, but they are the ones who have to live with the decision the longest and on whose lives it will have the most impact.

Older people also have more life experience and maybe even some wisdom. We need a diverse mix of views for democracy to be strong. Instead of penalizing one group we should try to get people more excited about voting. Things like your vote only mattering in a handful of states and there really being only two viable parties because the system suffers from the spoiler effect are obvious obstacles that most be resolved.

Weighting votes based on lifespan you can reasonably be expected to live with the outcome would lead to a different world.

A better world :)

Maybe our societies will shift to seeking longer-term gains.
