I heard Andrew Wilson talking about raising the voting age to 35. The rational is that you can't run for president until 35 because a younger person couldn't handle the responsibilities of the office. And since your vote is selecting that person, you wouldn't make a good decision about who holds office until the same age.
Raising the floor would also require lowering the ceiling lest boomer types groups continue to exert disproportionate influence over the rest and at their expense.
The problem there is that many problems affect the youth first, look at the dating and labor markets, those who already got theirs are incapable of seeing any problem and just assume that it's us that are at fault for their being no jobs looking to hire white men and women having insanely high standards.

It doesn't matter how high you raise the voting age if the system itself is fundamentally corrupt.

Great point
The problem there is that many problems affect the youth first, look at the dating and labor markets, those who already got theirs are incapable of seeing any problem and just assume that it's us that are at fault for their being no jobs looking to hire white men and women having insanely high standards.
I think you are making a good point but adding the dating stuff makes you sound like a whiner
The dating side of things is absolutely valid and I'm sick of everyone pretending that it isn't.
