The voices of the very old should still be heard though. They have a perspective we will never have and grew up in a very different world to today's youth.
Should they be running things? Probably not.
Should they have a say to some extent in government? I'd say yes.
Obviously they are heavily over-represented at the moment while other age ranges have barely any representation (where are the 20yo senators!)
It's not just age. Most people will accept an old politician if they are still capable. But by the last few years Dianne Feinstein has been downright incapacitated... not remembering where she was or what she was doing, having to have staffers remind her how to vote, even in her personal life she ceded power of attorney to her daughter. So she knows she wasn't well enough to handle her personal affairs, yet she isn't willing to step down from power and wants to keep handling the affairs of the country?

Actually the "voices" of no one should be heard and none should be subject to the tyranny of "being governed".
The voices of voluntary customers being listened to tends to lead to successful enterprises.
