    personally think it’s less a problem with age. age limits are arbitrary and likely have no basis in science (within reason). however i do think it could be advantageous to require a variety of ages of people, and somehow weight their input, but that process may destroy the inherent value of a representative democracy; if we let everyone speak nothing will get done.

    personally i think hard term limits and ranked choice voting would fix the majority of issues caused by generational gaps.

      If we can guarantee accurate census data, we could reach a decent basis with age limits doing +/- 10 years of the average age of the area being represented. Probably with a minimum age of 25 or something along those lines.
