We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?

This is exactly it. We need to move past first-past-the-post voting and do something like ranked-choice.

I’d say we need to go one further than ranked choice to multi member districts with ranked choice voting, that way even those groups who aren’t a majority still get represented but larger groups get a roughly proportional amount of representation.

Interesting, this is the first time I heard of multi-member districts but it makes a lot of sense. I'd certainly be in support of them.

I really like them because they would solve a lot of the issues around minority representation.
