If you have someone making life choices for you does it not make sense that you shouldn’t be allowed to vote? Someone has successfully made an argument you aren’t fit to run your own life. Not sure why they should be allowed to affect the lives of others. I’m not sure what the difference is, at least in some cases, between people with a guardian and children <18 y/o. And IDK of many clamoring to lower the voting age.
If you want to argue that guardian and/or conservatorships are misused far too often then I’m with you on that.
Funny how Americans treat owing a gun an inalienable right, but voting is a privilege that could be taken off more easily than ‘The Second’
You can’t own guns if you’re conserved or have been involuntarily committed.
Please keep gunownership out of this discussion unless you actually tried to purchase one alongsode the 4.2 million new gun owners since 2020. I dont care which side you’re on, but hoplophobia went out of style in my lefty circles since covid.

As with the disenfranchisement of felons and inmates, there is a perverse incentive to put people you don’t want to vote into conservatorship.
