Congratulations on equating being conservative with being wrong. (In saying conservative voting = downside)

I think I am fairly liberal, but in being objective I know I could very well be wrong.

Just to put the counter point. If conservative ideals are correct, then older people voting more would be a huge UPSIDE.

I agree that the older voting bloc causes a problem, but it's not because they are conservative, it's because they're retired and will continue to try to vote more benefits for themselves while removing benefits from others.

But to say it's a problem because they are conservative? You're just saying people that agree with you are right and people who disagree are wrong. It's closeminded.
