I wouldn't say age limit, but maybe cognitive testing.

It's not fair and it misses the target; it would, for example, rule out Bernie Sanders yet keep John Fetterman eligible. Real people are unique, differences within groups outweigh differences between them, and that alone prevents these blanket-category judgments from ever being fair.

Agreed. I don't understand support for rules that limit our future choices. Do we really need protection from ourselves?

When it comes to public policy, "One Size Fits All" is as red as any flag can get.

If you say yes, what's the cutoff and why that number instead of just letting voters decide case by case every election.

I really dislike these AI driven engagement bait questions
