Do you think there should be an upper age limit on voting?

There is a minimum age to vote - do you think there should be an upper limit too, as those at the other end of the spectrum are down to their last decade or so of life and shouldn't get a say in major decisions affecting all those generations behind them that will have to live with the consequences (i.e. Brexit and the divide between how the older / younger generations voted)

I would like to sit back and eat popcorn and watch the riots and the uproar when you try to remove the voting rights from elderly black people.

This post had zero to do with race. @4meAndyou

@luckranger71 You are missing the point. "The elderly" are of all races. However, the vote is a particularly explosive point with black voters, who would also be included in the disenfranchisement of the elderly, because they were and sometimes are disenfranchised in the south. If you try to take the vote away from one black man or one black woman, that powderkeg will light right up. Boom.
