And voting for people that will make everyone's life hell and ensure that no one else will ever get to experience the quality of life that they did.

Not to sound ageist, but I firmly believe voting privileges should be revoked when you retire.

If you need to wait 18 years to vote you shouldn't be able to vote once you are 18 years from average life expectancy (as in life expectancy is 80, you can vote until you're 62, not after).

Imagine how much focus would be put on healthcare if that were the case...

If it works one way it should work the other way as well! You're too young to be responsible enough to vote? Then you can be too old to care enough about the future to vote!
